You say increased chances from the left.

I say actual guilty charges have been served against the right.

Forgive me for not fearing what could be, I'm too stuck on what is. Your politics are so screwed up you support the actual child molesters. Who, again, have been charged guilty.

My initial post used a 5k as my example, then you asked about what the motivation is for running a 5k so I responded to that, and you're again asking about exercise.

>Why is all motivation associated with the gym or exercise?

Because you keep asking about it. Motivation can be to keep studying late at night for school when you don't see an immediate benefit or when it's not really necessary. Maybe you have a decent job and are getting by well enough without stressing about more school. For your point about feeding your kids, having more degrees make you more employable and more likely to have a higher salary, so that's your motivation. Maybe you need motivation to clean the house. Will the roof collapse if you push off or skip a week of cleaning the bathrooms? No, but is it nice to have a clean place to live. There are plenty of non-exercise examples for motivation.

I'm not running no 5K because I don't have time for such wasteful bullshit.

Motivation? Keeping your kids fed. Keeping a roof over their heads. Making money no matter how bad you hate your job or your coworkers. No matter what it robs you health wise.

>First off, what's the motivation for running a 5K?

Maybe you're a couchslob that is realizing that getting out of breath walking up a single flight of stairs isn't normal, maybe the 5k is a fundraiser for a disease or issue that took a loved one, maybe your child's school has a 5k funrun and your child wants to compete in it with you. There could be lots of different reasons for wanting to run a 5k.

What's your second item? First off, but no secondly.

In my experience the following is the interpretation and corollary:

  1. Mr.Ziglar was right: you can get what you want if you give what people what they want. Pay off 1:1 .
  2. A corollary based on law of karma : You can get 10X times you want if you give what people what they want, WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN!
