Part of our conditioning was to run, so I did and it sucked. I think it's so powerful that you can have that passion for it, but as a cheerleader, softball catcher, and rugby player .... my knees were shot. Every time I came back from running I'd pack my knees with ice and get stretched and pulled.... yuck. When I had my big injury that took me out of the game (everyone has one :-P )I stopped being athletic and just was my own fussy self. Lately I've gotten more into walking with a coworker of mine in the evenings - I enjoy the social aspect of that, and knowing that I'm getting into shape, but I know I won't turn b ack to running unless it's on a treadmill!Brehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02718080604008513653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21226961.post-1144772142088787352006-04-11T10:15:00.000-06:002006-04-11T10:15:00.000-06:00gg- it's a bug that doesn't bite everyone, that's ...gg- it's a bug that doesn't bite everyone, that's for sure.<BR/><BR/>coolcat- I know some of you cyclists can be an exception.<BR/>Also, I know people say running hurts but when I'm on my bike, I just can't make sense of carrying an extra 25-30 lbs. up a hill.

And as I have only recently returned to the sport my non-runner friends are still getting used to the idea that "no I can't show up for dinner right after work if I normally run that day!!" :) <BR/><BR/>Most of them are really great and supportive but one or two of the less active ones don't seem to get it and are waiting for this "phase" to be over I think. I like to think they will be waiting a long time.<BR/><BR/>I really have to get over my self and start going in the morning. Then I'll be a real runner.Runner Girl FLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755283547202964546noreply@blogger.com
