I tried last week and only made it five laps before I had to give up. Very sad development, indeed. My shoulder does not allow me to swim anymore.

I think he did all that just to brag. So does all this running mean that swimming is out and does it mean you have bought stock in anti-nipple chap cream? Or do you have callouses yet?

It was hotter than hell so I decided to not do any more during the summer. So I'm registered to run two in September. I'm looking for a 10K but they're hard to find around here. I never see me doing a half marathon or more though. As for getting out of shape over the winter... that's what treadmills are for, right?

It started the same way with me. Run a little here and there, next thing is the long runs on the weekend, then longer runs, then your first 5k, then your first 10k, then a half-marathon. You are doomed champ, fucking doomed. Well until winter when the trails get covered over and you get out of shape. SC - you’re doomed. It started the same way with me.

I am certainly not into the New Age thing, but I do want to try something to get away from the usual "complaints" one has while running. Nice to see that you found something else that won't necessarily kill you while exercising--it's a bit harder to do a faceplant while running. ;-) That said, nice to see you are your usual, snarky, smart-assed self.

Therefore, your programmer (at least) is not at one with his body at all. If he were he'd know that his soreness was his body telling him his mechanics are wrong. BTW, there's no way in hell I'd get up at 3am to run. There's also no way in hell I'm going to run 15 miles.

No dumbass, not because I like to run, that shit is for losers. I know because my boss and the programmer are both losery dorks who run and they sit there and talk about it ALL the time. Bot of them sound just like you too. They're all like, "Man, running is so cool and I really feel at one with my body when I run, wanna go running later? LET'S RUN!!!11 SQUEEE" Seriously. Just yesterday the programmer was bragging about how he got up at 3am and ran 15 miles before work. Then he went around all day complaining of how sore he was. Anyway, it's cool I guess if you're into making your body stronger and expanding your mind...Craig. I know what you’re talking about! No dumbass, not because I like to run, that shit is for losers.
