i just had to say something with all these comments about how running sucks...

i grew up playing soccer, so i hated running b/c it was punishment: "go run 12 laps!"

sometime after college i discovered that running was actually pretty OK, although not nearly as much fun as cycling. but i reallsy wish i had run track in high school.

and you get SO much fitness from just a little time, no money (shoes) and you can do it anywhere in any weather.

alas, i started having knee and lower back problems as i increased my running for triathlons and adventure racing. so i now run only about once a week and ride more b/c it's way easier on the knees and back!
