Keeping It Simple 09.19.2009 06:44 AM

Anyone here jog?
 
The reason I ask is because it seems to be "de rigueur" at the moment where I live, especially with the females. I've chilled out in the park for years and this is the first time I've noticed a marked rise in their numbers to almost plague proportions. I swear they now outnumber the park's rat population! The only explanation I can think of is they're white-collar workers who lost their jobs because of the credit crunch and they can't think of anything better to do with themselves other than jog. Personally I've never jogged. If I want to stay fit I go for long walks through the countryside, and I've spotted joggers nigh on torturing themselves there too. :)

i'm not supposed to run long distances since every heavy physical activity that i do outdoors can trigger an asthmatic attack (especially when the air isn't too good)

simulated stereo 09.19.2009 08:01 AM

I jog three or four days a week. Helluva weight reducer.

greedrex 09.19.2009 08:13 AM

fuck i need to jog more regularly, it's good for what i have......
I swear that i tell myself off every fucking day for not going jogging....
run forrest..

Satan 09.19.2009 08:16 AM

there are so many funner things to do for exercise

running fucking sucks

Conrad 09.19.2009 10:10 AM

I wish I could get off my ass and go for a run. I used to love love love running, and I was fast too.

Now I'm a smoker with black lungs and can't run ten feet without a heart attack and my air ways closing up.

You used to have a valued contribution; you used to be jailbait/gobshite - as it is, you're just captain boring post-teenager. Captain restraint/ lack of OC. Captain no-idea. Captain stuck-in-someone-else's-nostalgia.

Running is the least interesting thing. It's also the only thing that keeps me from the tabs.

Satan - STOP BEING A BORING FUCK AND START BELIEVING IN YOURSELF AGAIN.

gmku 09.19.2009 05:48 PM

I jog in place 3-4 times a week for 20 minutes at a time, with light weights.

swimming pretty much wins there, running gives me this heart ache, and it feels really weird

terriblecanyons 09.19.2009 05:49 PM

Swimming is the best exercise ever. It's so fun. Running fucking sucks.

davenotdead 09.19.2009 05:49 PM

i run.

its pretty satisfying at the end of a long run, and you feel better/breathe easier the rest of the day

Useless cunt.

terminal pharmacy 09.19.2009 05:51 PM

females running is good!!!

gmku 09.19.2009 05:52 PM

I would hate to run if I had boobs. Would need a really good fitness bra.

terriblecanyons 09.19.2009 05:53 PM

Running is painful with boobs unless you've got like a super constrictive bra which makes it painful to breathe anyway, so basically unless you've got the build of a 10 year old boy you're fucked.

greedrex 09.19.2009 05:57 PM

 

"moi j'aime mon corps"

gmku 09.19.2009 05:57 PM

In which case perhaps just substitute fucking for jogging.

i run too. its not like i sit in the shrubbery and spy on them

gmku 09.19.2009 08:24 PM

Not the impression I get about you, but whatever.

Shifty Prophet 09.19.2009 08:35 PM

I run at least 4 times a week. Yes its boring, but its a good time to think shit out and get lost with your thoughts.

gmku 09.19.2009 08:39 PM

It releases chemicals in yr brain and shit like that to that make you feel better. It's a good time.

kierkegaarden 09.19.2009 09:07 PM

running addict, 3 miles a day. last summer i ran 9 miles a night for three months, my doctor thought i was on drugs, but it was just divorce.

gmku 09.19.2009 09:17 PM

I don't like running addicts though. Worse than druggies.

viewtiful_alan 09.19.2009 09:21 PM

I skate. I'll probably jog when I get older though

i apologize for allowing will some ardor

joe11121 09.19.2009 09:35 PM

Running is great. Especially if you live in a cool place where you can like jog around and see a lot of cool things. I live in a flatland area so nothing is interesting here. Biking is funner though.

I took it up at the beginning of summer, and I love love loved it for a few months, I was soaking up all those qualities above^ and more, but then I reached a few weeks where they all disappeared.
There were aches I couldnt stop thinking about,
I couldnt stop thinking...period. What I loved about running was being OUTSIDE of my brainbox for once, just being my body. Just letting that take over, just getting through it. At this point, however, I couldnt stop counting every...single...second...dragging...by.
And finally, by the end, I would NOT feel good, or even accomplished that I at least made it despite it being one of those bad days. I would just just feel like fucking hell like I would rather have not gone through the effort or embarrassment of being so fucking shitty at something so easy.

It's been a month. It really, really felt awesome for a while, so I'm pretty disappointed.

pbradley 09.20.2009 01:58 AM

I come from a long line of lawyer runners.

Fuck that. I'd rather drive.

pbradley 09.20.2009 02:08 AM

I'm not up because of stress. I'm up because it is the weekend of my birthday and I feel like drink. Albeit by myself... with my birthday wine.

And I know all about the therapeutic nature of the outdoors. Eagle scout, over 300 miles of backpacking, etc.

davenotdead 09.20.2009 02:17 AM

its not the outdoors, exercise does make you sleep better.

also, i do like walking, but walking 7 or 8 miles takes so long... don't really have time for it.

a couple mile run is quick and great, and like altered mentioned, its kind of a 'being OUTSIDE of my brainbox for once, just being my body'. its cool

Not only cool, it is absolutely pouring outside of my brainbox. I need a braincoat!

pbradley 09.20.2009 02:39 AM

It isn't all that great being an "Eagle." Just some shit to put on a resume, a piece of paper, a medal you will put in a drawer and forget.

It is the experiences that matter, the award is mostly bullshit.

pbradley 09.20.2009 02:53 AM

Yeah, that is true, I'm pretty sure it really sweetened the deal with my college application.

pbradley 09.20.2009 02:58 AM

Now you are trying to butter me up after that lashing you gave me before. No need, young squire, I have a firm grasp of my faults and strengths. The truth illuminates all sides.

And so does this wine.
