Running is usually bad for your knees. Your lungs freeze when you run in the cold. People run a lot to get 'runner's high.' To me, you feel runner's high high you are out of shape and then run hard. |

Here are some very regular comments from the uninformed military members: - "I wish I was born naturally fast like you"(they disregard the 70+ mile weeks that I run) - "Of course he's going to run faster on his PT test than me, his legs are MUCH longer" (I'm 6'2) - "He can run his 1.5 mile real fast but I bet he couldn't carry me in a war zone" (I'm the only military member in my wing to score a 100 on the PT test. You need 67 pushups in a minute, 58 situps in a minute and 9:06 for 1.5 mile run. On top of that I can still bench press 255, being one of the stronger members of the group. And if you lost some eff'ing weight and got down to a reasonable size, maybe I could carry you in a war zone) |
