Tweet Running is a passion, a chore, a necessity, and a source or community. Despite all of these things the dictionary says that running is “fast movement: rapid movement on foot, with long strides and both feet momentarily off the ground”. Sounds like skipping or kangaroo jumps to me. Well regardless of what the dictionary thinks I am doing some research into runners and running and am collecting a little bit of data. The end product of the research is still forming, in the interim I would appreciate your insights into what running is by either responding to this 1 minute survey… http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3KJWYKB I promise it is super short – 10 multiple choice questions!
