Why run?

Becoming

Was discussing with some friends the pointlessness of running...

1) Any animal that can harm you can most certainly outrun you... lions, tigers, bears, dogs.... they will all run you down and then kill your ass...

2) What kind of danger can you run from anyway? It would be much more handy to be able to pick up something heavy, or to pick up a heavy object and throw or drop it on something....

3) Chicks never say "Oh man, he looks like a runner, that is so hot"...

Mainly though my argument is number 1 above... I mean, sure no matter how big you are, you probably will still get killed by a lion, tiger or bear, but at least you will have a chance against a dog I figure...

Any thoughts?

dude there are no major grammatical errors in the post above
 
I'm sure they all say, "hey, look at that smelly neanderthal caveman fuck over there eating a triple Wendy's cheeseburger with chili stains on his Dickies - I wanna fuck him!"

Its MUCH more effective than walking fast...

can you quantify this? say with some kind of differential equation?
 
You forgot #4

4) Running is teh suck!!!!

I have heard this a few times actually....
 
besides being a primordial urge during times of stress, i can see your point. The word "RUN" can be used metaphorically to describe an unwanted situation....
such as "I would run from Stilleto if approached from behind"....

It would be a non-homogenous differential equation, so, probably over your head.

I would pretend like I know what you are talking about but:

1) google isn't working for some reason

2) ever since calc 2 in college when they were making us find the volume of pulsating donuts in space or some crap I decided that maybe math wasn't really for me...

hahahaha I know exactly the problem and the associated diagram you are talking about.

I got my degree in Math, and have recently come back to using it - I'm doing some statistics and modeling now in our business - something like actuarial work but not exactly. I like this stuff. scary!

Anyway, I was j/k - the diff eq I recommended is for harmonic functions. Like a spring. In space. Pulsating. or not.
 
Running sucks, and it is bad for your knees and lower back. Why anyone takes pleasure in running I will never know.

BUT, some people just like the feeling of moving at a quicker pace and get that wonderful cardio workout by running. More power to them. I'll just ride my bike, see more territory and get the same cardio benefits without the joint damage.

It is the only final I ever took where I decided that drinking a 2 liter of "jesus juice" an hour or two before the final was a good idea... Somehow I passed...

I ran two miles yesterday bitch.
You calling me a bitch is like an oxymoron of humanity.

Fourier is my second name

Laplace being my first

you should pull a "series" of "transformations" on Becoming, so he'll know what the hell you're talking aboiut.
 
1. You may need to run from a gang of unruly youths bent on your destruction.

2. You like the marathon look and running fashion, which is only acceptable attire while running.

3. Your job requires running. (police, military,shoplifter).

4. It's not geigh looking like speed walking.

It is funny, last summer they had this series of muggings of students by bands of 12-13 year olds in chicago around the U of Chicago (a nerd school)... apparently the inner city youth figured out that nerds (for the most part) don't know how to fight...

I would have given those little punks a beating they would never forget...

#3 I agree police should need to run... So that you can chase someone down and THEN beat them....
 
I had a dog ( it was some kinda of rott/sheapard mix) run and jump at me...i swear to go I snuffed it right in the side of the its mouth while it was in midair. it flew to the side and then was getting ready to pounce again when the dickhead owner came running over and grabbed it by the colar. That dog was lucky. :smash:

See, here is someone with some sense.

Why run so the bastard can bite at you with no repercussion?

to me running and not knowing where the fucker chasing me is exactly, is more scary then turning around and facing it.

Well I came to grips with the fact that I am too big to run away a long time ago, so I have adopted the stand and fight philosophy. I'd rather get my ass kicked in a stand up fight then live with the shame of running scared.

Plus lets face it... Big guys don't very cool running fast...

More like a runaway train...
 
It works better to pee a circle around you and act like it is magical protection. All animals know magic is real and will run away like scvared little bunny rabbits.

However this does not work for women as when they are peeing their circle the evil animals think they are being mooned and just kill them dead.

And there is nothing worse than being killed dead with your pants down :)

dude...
i don't run.
 
Running is a great gauge of fitness and I've yet to find anything that compares when it comes to burning fat.

I know most of the big lads I see at the gym couldn't run for the bus.

Your metabolism burns fat, not running. Taking some stimulants or cutting extra calories while having a good amt of muscle mass would do better than any amount of running.

Isn't the whole point of the bus not to have to run?

Lets not pick at straws bud, I take it you're not a runner.

The phrase 'couldn't run for the bus' means unfit, meaning all the juice monkeys in my gym can't run for shit.

I like to do hash runs every week and I'm doing a half marathon in precisely 10 days time, running makes me feel alive.

Also, why not?
