Yeah, people born to run and stuff suck balls. I don't get how they just...do it. All the time, miles on end. I understand exercise of different sorts having attraction, especially if you get started early enough--like in sports and what not. Maybe then running would make more sense, particularly for sports like soccer or basketball where so much of the sport is running. The trick is to get to kids young and involve them in sports, supposedly. However, I was stubborn as a kid and sports, though fun when I was there, was like pulling teeth to get me to stick with and my parents eventually let me quit. (Basketball, however, I loved and would still happily play.) If our team hadn't been inordinately good (as in they won the local league every year in every sport, no thanks to me, really), I probably would have quit way earlier. (Great sportsmanship me.)

But be a natural runner? Enjoy it? Oh fuck no. Those people are nuts.

I find that exercising has made me more antsy about sitting around. Not that I don't do it--I do, most nights--but that I absolutely have to walk some times. I went for a two-mile walk on Sunday to Staples uptown just to not be sitting around.
