Sorry, thought that said, "feel like a little kid"...

I used to run for miles. Even zone out occasionally when I ran.
I miss that feeling.
Still work out on the treadmill, but it's not the same.
I have a hard time doing 2 miles on a treadmill. Walking in place is just fucking BORING!
Thought I'd stretch myself this afternoon. 1 hour, 4.06 miles with an additional 0.86 cool down in about 16 minutes.
I'm having desert!

I actually was not adverse to the treadmill when I worked out at the gym years ago.
I think there is a gym nearby. Maybe I will look into it.

If you can make a woman laugh you're halfway there.
If you're halfway there and you make the woman laughs, that's another story...

That feeling when you realise that Roger Waters' long-standing criticism of Israel has (most likely) officially crossed the line from legitimate critique of a nation with some seriously questionable policies to full-blown anti-semitism:

Still work out on the treadmill, but it's not the same. I didn't even like to run when I was a kid. I rode my bike almost everywhere even after I had Jen. Plopped her in the kid seat and off we went since we didn't have a car.
Run - even if I was being chased I would just give up without taking a step.

I'm now doing two, 2-mile trips each day at better than 4 mph, with 15 minutes of cooldown after each. Getting diagnosed pre-diabetic, coupled with kicking the cigarette addiction some years back, has been the best thing to happen to me in at least a decade. I've lost nearly seventy pounds, got my wind back, and I haven't felt this good since my early thirties, back when my kids were keeping me active. Best of all, I'm no longer even pre-diabetic.
Good for you! Sounds like an amazing life change.

Well, I have to really start running again.

I'll stick to my stationary bike. I don't have to accidentally see people (EWWWWW) or worry about weather.

Same here, I do not like exerting myself at all. I have blood pressure issues so I'm not trying to run, I might have a stroke.
