What you should do is find a small neighborhood 5K. I ran a 25 min mile and finished 1st in my age group.

i run for everyone who cannot run .. i run for them whether they want to run or not ... when i am running free and by myself ... alone with my thoughts, i will always think of the many people that cannot run and i think of the day when i will no longer be able to run ... and i always find the motivation to finish a run with those thoughts ... that way, when i can no longer run ... i will close my eyes and relive the many runs i did ... when i could ... and i will smile!!!!!!

I run because it reminds me that I'm alive especially in times when my life becomes so routine that I forgret what pain, agony, motivation and drive feels like. Also because it gives us runners the permission to blow snot rockets, be proud of our bodily functions, get muddy, and have the worlds nastiest feet. Runners carry a very unique sense of pride and they have such a different attitude of life in general. Being a runner is just awesome.

In Russia we run in kilometers. In last competition at 24.11.09 I run 11km 43min.37sec. and was the first in my age group (40-50), I am 45.

I love the first-person perspective and fast-motion in this video!! Please check-out my animation video, "The Nashville Marathon" - it also has original soundtrack music. I'd like any feedback you might have for me too - thanks, Dg
