I run to get fit but it is also freeing to know your body can cover distance without much effort. If the coffee shop is a mile away but you are a decent runner you can go there and back in ~20 minutes without getting tired/sweaty. No car, no bike or other equipment, just step out the door and go. If a pair of shoes could extend my range I am all for it.
