Of course, c'm, you still gotta live a good life.
I HATED running at first, but there's not a lot that beats getting that runner's high. I try to mix it up between running and biking for cardio so that I don't get bored with either. I live in Crossroads, so riding the bike isn't always the most conducive option, given many driver's general lack of awareness / having no clue where they are going when they are downtown (it's amazing how many people suddenly think the rules of the road are different simply because there are buildings around).jfish26 wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 9:50 amI'd be playing pickup with your friend.

To me though, there’s something visceral or primordial or something about running. What’s the word I want? But I guess it’s not for everyone.
I find it funny though when some folks say they hate running.
One friend will be like, I fuckin HATE it, it’s stoopid! If I’m gonna work out, I’d rather just like go play basketball or something.
Oook...how do you expect to play basketball without running?
“Well like, at least with basketball, you’re like doing other stuff while you play too...”
Yeah, mostly running.
Wife and I built a platform and painted a jayhawk on it to protect our concrete and I use bumper plates to not make as much noise.
I've got a wonky knee and, absent a surgery I'll have to have some day that will immobilize me for a couple months, I will never be able to run long enough to get there.Wiff wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 12:32 pmI HATED running at first, but there's not a lot that beats getting that runner's high.

I recently bought an SUV - with a major motivating reason being so that I could transport my bike to better places to ride -- so I plan to incorporate that activity much more. But I have absolutely no plans to squeeze into that Lance Armstrong costume that I see a lot of bikers wearing.

So, your patella sits in (and sort of slides up and down in) a groove in your femur. That groove is, in addition to a whole lot of soft tissue, what keeps your patella in place.Overlander wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 4:52 pmAmputation?jfish26 wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 12:57 pmI've got a wonky knee and, absent a surgery I'll have to have some day that will immobilize me for a couple monthsWiff wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 12:32 pm

Thats crazy. I thought damn near any surgery today had you up and mobile right away.jfish26 wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 5:29 pmSo, your patella sits in (and sort of slides up and down in) a groove in your femur.

That’s if you have a sufficiently deep groove, which I do not. There is a procedure to fix that (think of a dremel), which would render my patella less capable of escape, but it keeps you off the leg for a while.
We have a treadmill workstation at my office. That's kinda nice. Only goes up to 2 mph though. I suppose that's because it would be really hard to type going faster than that. It'd be nice to go faster during meetings though.
