    Me too. The NBA - noon basketball association.

    I play basketball less than twice a week these days and when asked my hobbies I say "running and playing basketball".

    I know people who call themselves fisherman and fish less than twice a week. I know people who call themselves scuba divers or skiers or backpackers or mountain climbers and do it maybe once or twice a year if that.

    This hobby thing is really confusing to the OP, isn't it?

    Is the Hobby Jogger hangup thing a type of Schizophrenia? Could there be a legit diagnosis? Just plain neurosis , or maybe only insecurity? Definitely seems to go beyond insecurity.

    Is Tom Brady a "football player"?

    How often does he actually play football?

    Doesn't he go months at a time without playing?

    That's because people look at running as a hobby.

    Like someone who rides a motorcycle is called a biker.

    re: Star

    I think the real question (through the lens of basketball alike) is this:

    What would you think about a washed up former college athlete who practices basketball 2 hours a week for 6 hours a day in order to dominate a weekly pickup game?

    Relax. Take it easy. Take a deep breath, then feel the malignant anger escaping your body as you exhale. Everything is okay. Repeat after me: I am calm now, I am normal. Good job!

    Is being a circle jerkist a hobby? Maybe you could do that the other days.
