I am doing a survey for my Statistics class on runners. I will provide the questions below and would appreciate those who can participate in answering them. There are just 10 short questions geared to runners; competitive, recreational or simply for those who just run for whatever reason. If you can comment to my post with your answers that would be awesome! :)
I will post the results that I come up with on Friday.

"Top results are reached only through pain. But eventually you like this pain. You'll find the more difficulties you have on the way, the more you will enjoy your success." -Juha
