As I sit here at my desk having just climbed up two flights of stairs it occured to me...the Couch Potatoes may just be on to something!
Two weeks ago or so, I agreed to run two 5k's, a 10k and a dualthlon over the next three months. Now for you die hards and marathon junkie's out there, that doesnt sound too rough...but all I can say is...OOWW!
Thirty Three years old and in reasonable health...but I CANT RUN! How is that possible? I have been described as sounding like a herd of Elephants when I run as my feet go slapping on the concrete like I'm running in flippers.
But what got me the most was last night as I was walking upstairs after my run...my ankles hurt, my knees were cracking and popping, Hell my shoulder hurt(figure THAT one out!). And I thought...WHAT AM I DOING TO MYSELF??? I could be posted up on my favorite spot on the couch "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" on the Tube for the ninety-seventh time, 
drinking a cold one and eating Cheetos feeling just fine! How 'bout a nice pack of Marlboro's while I'm at it!
Lazy Never Hurt This Bad!
