it does clash with the stoner image, but it certainly isn't contradictory to a stoner.

running is good for you

i work out four times a week mon-thurs, then i become the stereotype stoner for a few days

gotta keep that heart bumping. i'm starting to bike 10 miles a day. can't run due to bad shinsplints so biking is better. plus i got a fixed gear so i have to keep pedaling the whole time. no changing gears for me. uphill is a killer.

i know a guy who sometimes go mountain biking that only has one gear. I tried going up one hill with it and it was impossible

Let's just say I used to be the WO fiend......7-10 miles a day running, and I DO mean RUNNING, up hill at that. 1000 situps (hanging upside down for many of them) several times a week, 30 minutes to 1 hour a day of yoga---and the weights....minium 2 hours a day. Can you say INSANE?
You could probably say I was just a tad obsessive, but truthfully, there's just no better feeling in the world being fit and feeling fluid as you go through your daily tasks. It's addictive...not a bad addiction to have either. But I don't suggest everyone follow that insane routine.
Needless to say, after people would witness my "routine"----they would ALWAYS stare at me with utter shock when I lit up......and yeah, I smoked cigs too. You can get away with that for only so long before those runs become shorter and all but disappear.

I have a buddy just like you. he capped out at 12 miles max running. but he's just a metabolism junky. no fat has to eat a lot just to keep energy up during the day.

I don't think I could even work up to that level of physique.

LOL Poplar, you say that in the present tense....truth is I haven't done that in years. It's been over a year since I've even done a single crunch.....but you know what? My abs are still showing that muscle despite it all---not to mention that to this day, my metabolism is still high. Women love to hate me. I eat A LOT.....and "now" I eat plenty of junk food too.
I keep swearing I'm going to get back to it too. It's not me holding me back, but that's another thread.
At that time, everything that entered my body was extremely healthy--for the most part. Men were in awe of how much I ate, LOL. I kid you not...115 lbs. and the caloric intake was out of this world. But you know, you NEED those calories to perform like that.
OK...let me rephrase, I think I'll go "jog" and work up from there.
