Two strikes. One more and you're on my ignore list, you asshole.

When I started I had man-boobs.

i run too. its not like i sit in the shrubbery and spy on them

Not the impression I get about you, but whatever.

I run at least 4 times a week. Yes its boring, but its a good time to think shit out and get lost with your thoughts.

It releases chemicals in yr brain and shit like that to that make you feel better. It's a good time.

running addict, 3 miles a day. last summer i ran 9 miles a night for three months, my doctor thought i was on drugs, but it was just divorce.

I don't like running addicts though. Worse than druggies.

I skate. I'll probably jog when I get older though

i apologize for allowing will some ardor

Running is great. Especially if you live in a cool place where you can like jog around and see a lot of cool things. I live in a flatland area so nothing is interesting here. Biking is funner though.

i've never had my car window smashed by avid runners

I took it up at the beginning of summer, and I love love loved it for a few months, I was soaking up all those qualities above^ and more, but then I reached a few weeks where they all disappeared.
There were aches I couldnt stop thinking about,
I couldnt stop thinking...period. What I loved about running was being OUTSIDE of my brainbox for once, just being my body. Just letting that take over, just getting through it. At this point, however, I couldnt stop counting every...single...second...dragging...by.
And finally, by the end, I would NOT feel good, or even accomplished that I at least made it despite it being one of those bad days. I would just just feel like fucking hell like I would rather have not gone through the effort or embarrassment of being so fucking shitty at something so easy.

It's been a month. It really, really felt awesome for a while, so I'm pretty disappointed.

I come from a long line of lawyer runners.

Fuck that. I'd rather drive.

I'm not up because of stress. I'm up because it is the weekend of my birthday and I feel like drink. Albeit by myself... with my birthday wine.

And I know all about the therapeutic nature of the outdoors. Eagle scout, over 300 miles of backpacking, etc.

its not the outdoors, exercise does make you sleep better.

also, i do like walking, but walking 7 or 8 miles takes so long... don't really have time for it.

a couple mile run is quick and great, and like altered mentioned, its kind of a 'being OUTSIDE of my brainbox for once, just being my body'. its cool

Not only cool, it is absolutely pouring outside of my brainbox. I need a braincoat!

It isn't all that great being an "Eagle." Just some shit to put on a resume, a piece of paper, a medal you will put in a drawer and forget.

It is the experiences that matter, the award is mostly bullshit.

Yeah, that is true, I'm pretty sure it really sweetened the deal with my college application.

Now you are trying to butter me up after that lashing you gave me before. No need, young squire, I have a firm grasp of my faults and strengths. The truth illuminates all sides.

And so does this wine.
