I am not annoying. Everyone around me just loves my stories about the runs I did and the shoes I want to buy.

We got into running (or in my case it started with going to the gym) for the same reason! London, in the early noughties was party central - and I was making big glossy shiny floor entertainment shows. 6 o'clock struck and every one would hot foot it to the pub for the night. After a few weeks, I was tired of eating crisps for dinner over G&Ts. Then a sales rep dropped flyers for the gym across the street in reception and that ended up being my get out. I figured, I'd tell people that I was going to the gym and would meet them in the pub afterwards. I did go to the gym and I did meet them in the pub afterwards. But they were so battered by the time I walked in, that they didn't realize that I was making a swift exit without touching a drink 10 or so minutes after!
