Running is the new yoga

[Deleted User] · December 2002

Don't know if anyone else is a Guardian reader but this morning there was an article about how everyone's taking up running (but they would insist on calling it jogging) because it's simply the best exercise for you.

Clever us eh? Years ahead of the pack.

D'you think Paula Radcliffe has something to do with this???

Half of my village seems to be running. Nobody ever seems to talk to anybody else though--they just look embarrassed and grin and scuttle off!

The Guardian. Isn't that that left wing rag of a journal that is read by social workers and psycologists that side up with criminals?
What do they know about jogging, sorry running?

You can tell from this that I am a Daily Mail reader.

[Deleted User] · December 2002

I'm a Sun Reader. Can Someone tell me what the hell this is all about!!

Who's on page 3 today?

If you are all concerned about what you read you cant (OK JJ I missed the apostrophe) be serious runners. There used to be a time when there were so few runners that anyone who you met running was a soulmate and to be greeted if only with a gasping "hi". Then came the running boom, 1980's or thereabouts. Magazines were spawned to cater for the newborn narcicistic (what the hell I can't spell) breed of runner. They all learnt about the runner's high and shuffled around with agonised expressions on their faces enjoying the high and ignoring their fellow enthusiasts. Is this happening again? If so look out. Times were faster on those days.

PS.

Whatever you do don't take up running because its good for you. Take it up because it might be good for you. If you hate it pack it in. Only carry on if you enjoy it.

Sorry folks, both of these really should be on the over 60's thread.

I still greet anyone else I meet out running, and I don't meet that many.

Anyway, will it still be fashionable in 3 months?

I only do thiongs that are BAD for me
Gin, running, and sleep deprivation
Oh, and crisps

[Deleted User] · December 2002

Thongs? Bad for us? Never!

[Deleted User] · December 2002

Gin, sleep deprivation and the other whatever it was. They're all GOOD for you.

Not sure about the crisps tho'.

Read the Atkins diet t find out how we've been misled/brainwashed about fat.

[Deleted User] · December 2002

Fat's good for you. If you find a really fat person to stand next to you lose weight instantly. I mean, that's good, isn't it?

Benz: you have a very strange accent, sometimes it's hard to make out what you're typing (couldn't be the gin could it?).

Anyway, how are thiongs?

She'll be gone now DB. She's a vampire you know. Only ever posts during the hours of darkness.

Benz is actually short for Countess Benzula. Not a lot of people know that.

By this time next week running will be SO over, dahling!

[Deleted User] · December 2002

If running is the new yoga, is yoga the old running?

[Deleted User] · December 2002

Bye, party to go to

[Deleted User] · December 2002

If you're going to a party, I hope you are running there.

[Deleted User] · December 2002

What did I tell you??

[Deleted User] · December 2002

Or even do some yoga when you get there.

Howdy, Stranger!
