Running/ racing 5K. Like Lowcell I try to be a good husband in the meantime. My wife might admit me to the hospital she works at.

I play soccer a lot, and then hiking/backpacking. I want to get into skiing, but I spend all of my money on bikes.

i love to run, hike, backpack, fish, and read. i climb very recreationally. the heights freak me out. in the winter skate skiiing is where its at. i have a snowboard but the sport is too exspensive. riding usually occupies most of my time in the spring/summer/fall. when i'm not riding, i am probably working or reading. drinking beer is also very high up on my list of enjoyable activities. i used to play a lot of frisbee.

I used to play basketball with my friends everyday and I have a training bag that I pummel daily for cardio. I run occasionally on some trails around here and I'm starting to pick up tennis again. Does pool (billiards) count? Because I do that on occasion.

Skiing and beer dinking are my other sports. Being a new dad is taking a little time away from all the things I love to do, but well worth it.

Same here, I just listed a couple of my other hobbies. I've had my significant other for 19 years and counting. Life is good.

Well I can actually only ride in the summer because I am a pole vaulter from September - June. July and August are my biking months. After pole vaulting is said and done, whenever that may be, I will be a full-time mountain biker.
