Run in the Sun

I'm not much of a runner. I finished a marathon, but I nearly died doing it. I never got the runner's high that they said I would.

Also, my knee surgery a few years ago has given me a great excuse any time I question myself. It's not good for my knee I say. Pounding the pavement will only hurt me later in life. The bottom line is I just don't really like running. I'd rather swim, surf, canoe or really do anything except run. iPods have certainly helped because it gives you some distraction, but seriously, running is kind of lame, and boring.

Treadmills are nice because it forces you to keep running or you'll fall off the back. Most gyms have a nice TV setup too, where you can watch brainless, captivating shows while you run, again, for distraction.

I did go for a run today, and I rather liked it. It's the first run I've gone on in a while. In fact, I've only run a handful of times since the marathon. It was nice! Rather than explaining why it was so nice, let me show you.
