Running Update

Sometimes I jog around my oddly shaped little block.  It's about three-quarters of a mile and I try to run it at least four times, and have once done five laps around it

Isn't it the repetitive impact that's the problem with running?

Perhaps cycling or swimming would hit the same spot as running fitness wise, without the jarring...

PS: If you were intending to do a write-up on your Rich Oliver school experience, I would be very interested to read it. As I'm sure would others, if you were to post it in motorcycles.

Yes, I am doing a write-up of it! I will post it there as well. Thanks!

Also, it's 38 degrees out in Santa Rosa right now. Too cold for me to bicycle, and I don't really know how to swim. :(

Ah! Well, a stationary bicycle in front of the TV might work, then :-).

When you say 'Don't know how to swim', do you mean 'Never be the next Olympic hopeful' or 'Help! Glub! Glub! Glub!'? If the latter, it would definitely be one of those life skills worth acquiring, it may well save your life one day. And it's amazing exercise, yet also extremely low impact for joints and suchlike!

I know how to not drown, I just don't really know how to freestyle or swim laps.
