Sweat Equity

The joys of exercise are seriously over inflated. There are those who
extol the virtues of exercise and that's all well and good (ok don't
you just hate it when people go on neon about how great it is only to
reveal, after pointed questioning, that their exercise involves couch
and television?) and true, but that doesn't make it fun. You
theoretically should find something you like to do, but if you don't
like sweating, the outdoors, physical contact and athletics in
general, the best thing is to find something marginally tolerable.
Because the thought of touching a sweaty person while I am sweaty is a
bit horrifying. It's like when people don't like to cook. To me it is
a bit incomprehensible. No, really. Probably they are more athletic too.

I've been on and off with the gym and the running thing. The gym is
beautiful - ok, my gym is beutiful AND the machines are well spaced so
people don't accidentaly spray you with their bodily fluids while on
the treadmill. Gross. And TVs with good cable.
But when the weather gets warm or time is a bit tricky or when there
is great potential for laziness, I go running... Ok, running/walking
combo. Pretty much it is hard to avoid unless you have a sprained
ankle or it is raining or you live in the ghetto. So that is what I've
been doing. Argh.
