Well sorry to spark a debate guys! I have heard both things about running; that it's more harmful than good for you, and that it's the best exercise on the planet. I guess I am looking to find something that will help me w/my cardio, keep me in shape (weight wise) and tighten up my thighs and glutes that I can actually ENJOY doing. I HATE running, but I know when I was in training and in better shape, running bothered me less b/c it wasn't as hard. If I can get my cardio up (w/out running) I think it will be easier. Makes no sense, I know, but I've wrestled with running since I was 12. Being in the Army, it's not going to go away any time soon and until they start letting us listen to music on PT runs I'm doomed. I do pass my 2mi test every time, but alot of times the group runs are 3, 4, 5 miles and if you can't keep up you are harrassed to no end. I honestly don't think my cardio is suffering too terribly bad b/c I do well w/ruck marches and that takes a lot of cardio as well. So I really think it's a mental thing w/running.

SO, I'd like to try biking. When I get my taxes back I will probably go down to the shope here in Woodbridge and get fitted by someone who knows what they are doing. (Not that you guys don't, but you know what I mean). Thanks for the advice though. Does anyone know where I can find the laws for biking on the roads in VA?
