Me pacing around my desk thinking about a solution to my problems 🙈
Get a dog, the walks become mandatory.
Then there are days when the dog has to sniff every third blade of grass…inevitably, this happens when you’re short on time and trying to do a quick walk…
And then there’s rain, snow, extreme cold, extreme heat…yeah walking a dog has it all!
inevitably, this happens when you’re short on time and trying to do a quick walk…
I swear, my dog knows…
Dogs have no concept of time. The walk takes as long as it takes, and the human has no idea.
I prefer birds. I can train them to go to the stick mounted over a garbage bin to poop, and I can still harness them up and take them out to fly around.
Walks are nice for unwinding. Now, running, THAT shit dumb.
I took up running for a while. “Runners high” is a very misleading term because the only thing that feels good about running is being done running
Then you’ve never truly had a runners high. When I was occasionally running while I in my teens, I’ve had a feeling once or twice where you feel like you’re flying and feel like you can go on forever. That’s what “Runner’s high” is I believe
Yeah it’s an amazing feeling it happens when your body switches energy sources so you go from feeling tired to feeling completely rejuvenated in an instant
That’s why you bring a spliff with you 😎
Once you get into it you get pretty addicted to it. Like I feel guilty if I haven’t run in a couple days. And running after a stressful day of work is like magic for making the tension go away. In the summer my runs are also trail runs so that makes it a lot better.
My whole life I’ve wanted to be a runner but goddamn… Running is ass.
Maybe one day I’ll commit. Doubtful.
Cycling is much more enjoyable.
Cycling is much easier on the knees also.
At least with cycling you get somewhere.
I know this will be unpopular but I prefer running on a treadmill. I can set my pace and get lost in an audiobook.
So true, it’s mostly in your glutes.
All runners are masochists to some degree.
Random overly extrovert person walks by and waves at you. What will you do?

They came from behind, it’s a surprise round.
Living in Germany: recoiling in mortified terror and someday telling my grand kids this astounding tale that happened to me once.
I am not an extrovert, but I try to say hello or good morning to people I encounter. After the second or third encounter many people say hello back, but some continue looking at me like I have 3 nostrils.
If you are hiking you greet everyone (unless they are in a group, then you only greet once).
If you are on a walk you give a barely perceptible nod of acknowledgement.This is why I bicycle, it shortens the awkward interactions dramatically.

Grumpy walkers for the win!
Pro tip: Get yourself a good audiobook and listen to it while walking. I regularly do extra long walks just because I want to continue listening.
Oh my… I feel this so badly
Oh, I just did this.
