Running

I've started running, mostly to jump start my fitness for this year. Running has several advantages and disadvanges over cycling.

Advantages

  1. Easy to get your heart rate up
  2. The impact of striking the ground id good for bone density
  3. Cheap - just need to buy a pair of shoes
  4. Can easily put the hurt on your legs
  5. Can do it almost anywhere


Disadvantages

  1. Kind of boring
  2. Puts the hurt in your knees the next day


Hopefully the trails dry and the temperatures go up so I can get out on the bike more. In the meantime, I hope this running thing helps my fitness level and leg strength. Who knows, I might even try a dualathalon this summer!
