It took 6 of those years to figure out that my knees really should have joined the AF (or stayed home altogether - I had a surgeon tell me I should never have been allowed in the military because my knees were malformed and I really could NOT run without hurting myself!). I believed in "No pain, no gain" and I was so wrong. My knees are permanently messed up. Some people run and have actual fun (my husband is one) and I am 100% convinced that it is simply because it does not hurt them (this is where we should say 'duh!' but why do we feel so guilty about it??!!) :p Walk your dog... that sounds like perfectly wonderful fun to me!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885312140856145961.post-41181460631259024912010-03-26T12:40:38.162-04:002010-03-26T12:40:38.162-04:00It's Friday, and that means that the Sixth Wee...It's Friday, and that means that the Sixth Weekly State Department Blog Roundup is up - and you're on it!<br /><br />Here is the link:<br /><br />http://bit.ly/deo4HK<br /><br />(If I quoted your text or used your photo(s) and you would rather I had not, please let me know.

I vow to run one, and then end up not doing it...walking is so good for your health, though, and better for your knees!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14545024934754374573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885312140856145961.post-88481052896189462162010-03-25T09:52:18.156-04:002010-03-25T09:52:18.156-04:00Running is overrated...I say this because I hate r...Running is overrated...I say this because I hate running!! I swear my lungs scream at me and threaten to close completely if I don't stop. So that's why I don't run! ;) At least you walk.

I'm sure the scenery is beautiful. <br /><br />I should be out walking, too... hopefully, your post will kick me in the rear to do that, also...<br /><br />And I've long ago given up on being a runner. But I look at runners and think... good for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885312140856145961.post-60557669209476440992010-03-24T15:59:02.343-04:002010-03-24T15:59:02.343-04:00When you figure it out would you tell me?

Why would I do this to myself? Maybe I think I should be ABLE to run 5k rather than I really WANT to run a 5k.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110115324050851439noreply@blogger.com
