>>1899650I'm 47. 6'1'' 197. Been lifting weights since I was 16. I lift pretty heavy, if I do say so myself.
I have been running for 8 years. I run marathons and ultramarathons. I have a 3:36 marathon time in Vibram Fivefingers (i.e., ballet slippers). I am built like a tank and run like a deer for up to 10 hours.
My joints are all fine and dandy, thanks.
Anyway, I exercise bc when I don't I end up drinking, doing coke, banging hookers, getting happy ending massages, and smoking cigarettes (and generally going crazy). I don't care if I'm somehow overdoing my hobbies. Actually, it's my career that really takes the hit from all the running. But you just gotta run, baby. Blasting down the road with headphones, or flowing down a singletrack trail with no music. It's fucking great.
