Runner's Envy

You know, I really do envy runners - the stamina and dedication it takes to make one's way through thickets of SUV-sized sidewalk strollers, slow-walkers and the like, and to - as Nike likes to say - Just Do It. In high school, during the Paleozoic Age, I ran track. I was mostly a sprinter, longer running just wasn't in the cards for me. To this day, I wonder if people can work up to that somehow, even if they can barely run to save their lives.....

Right now I'm working to build up stamina so I can actually just work out longer. (It's crazy; I know it.)

I'm not a runner, though, not yet. More of a walker, though a speedy one. To quote Futurama's Fry, I make Speedy Gonzalez look like Regular Gonzalez....
