jayfurrSome people, when they reach their age-40-time-to-start-doing-things-to-show-I'm-still-alive-and-kicking watershed, start training to run a marathon. And do run that marathon. And then do a bunch more, or at least a bunch more half marathons.
Me? I'm getting all impressed with myself because I'm planning to walk 60 miles in three days. (I don't actually expect to have a lot of difficulty with that, actually, but it's a valid point of comparison.)
Running bores the living crap out of me. Also, I just don't seem to have the wind for it. My sister, though, who has the same weird-ass low-hemoglobin blood I do, goes out and runs three miles as a nice bit of exercise after work, so I can't claim it's the blood thing. Perhaps if I did a lot more cardio pedaling on the exercycle it'd be different.
Sigh.
