Running is boring…

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

I tried to run the other day and it’s just so dang boring. I can’t seem to do it. I used to run in my early 20’s and for some reason it was more enjoyable back then. Maybe it’s because I was in better shape and could run longer (and, thus, could achieve that “runner’s high”). But these days, not only do my knees ache but I can’t seem to run more than 2 miles.

Basketball is my sport of choice but there is a high risk of injury…at least for me. I’ve had a compound fracture on my ankle, fractured my 4th metacarpal, tore ligaments in my shoulder…and countless other nagging injuries. Tonight I got poked in the eye. I lost my contact lens (my right eye) but luckily not my vision.

I think I need to find another sport to participate in. Any suggestions? Running is a no-go and basketball is too dangerous.
