But I don't even *like* running...

[ridicully]

Really. Running? So not my sport. I really don't like it very much. But as the saying goes Das Leben ist kein Wunschkonzert and it is the one exercise that doesn't require any preparation or planning to do.
Also, I signed up for two Tough Mudders this year and will likely also try for my usual half marathon. Just possibly, running will be involved in one or two of those. Might as well practice.

However, this is one of the less waterlogged paths around here at the moment
.
I also do not like running on the pavement. Or the road.

I've just got a second pair of shoes so I can alternate and let them dry out properly.
What was I saying again about not requiring preparation or planning?

(Yes, still trying the 'short entries fairly frequently' thing to get me talking)

Uhh... well, I imagine that path is very lovely in the summer?

[ridicully]

Are you saying it is not very lovely right now?

;)

At least it's not knee deep under water. Given the weather at the moment I take that as a plus.

That's great! Also, they do sell gore-tex versions of a few running shoes, I know Brooks has GTX versions of several popular models. i honestly had no idea what was the point of them until I saw your picture of your trails...

And, come on over to runners! We're a lovely group of runners and we've just started doing monthly challenges to keep us motivated :-)

I just found inov-8. Their shoes are more or less made for this terrain. One of their shoe types is called the mudclaw. I'm easily amused and like that :)

Just joined runners. Lets see how this goes...

svenja and i have started to go to mcfit twice a week. except for when we don't go *headdesks*

[ridicully]

McFit fand ich immer gut, weil die 24h lang offen haben. Aber ich hab's trotzem nie geschafft regelmäßig zu gehen.

Laufen muß ich, wenn überhaupt, draußen. Treadmill macht mich wahnsinnig.

Oh! Probiert mal Klettern aus ;)
Nein, ernsthaft, ich konnte mich wie gesagt nie motivieren in die Muckibude zu gehen. Aber Klettern gehe ich gerne dreimal die Woche wenn möglich. Wenn es denn Spaß macht motiviert man sich viel eher.
Ich bin fast sicher, das sowohl die Halle am Humbolthain als auch die DAV Halle am Hauptbahnhof Schnupperklettern anbieten.
