Sorry to hear about the shoulder Randi. As a fellow broken shoulder person thingy, you have my sympathies/empathies.

I can't do running. I've tried running for several years and each time couldn't escape the conclusion that I just hate it. I used to love it when I was younger, I ran track at school and did moderately OK at a few events, and ran through university. Nowadays though I'm like .. bleh, this sucks. And it doesn't matter how gingerly I treat my knees, my knees hate me these days. When I first went onto this "I'm going to start running again!" kick a few years back, I got arthritis in my knees (combination of shoes, technique, surface choices and well .. 200lbs or so). My older brother, 14 years my senior, who still loves running was all "Well DUH. Maybe you should try losing some weight before you start running." Uhhhhhhhh wow, thanks a lot you JERK. Yeah I'm running for the fun of it, not because I'm trying to .. you know .. LOSE SOME WEIGHT. SHEESH! Runners! They're all cooked in the head, I swear.

I like my bikes these days.

Never was good at any kind of team sport (surprise surprise). I made my dad so proud as a 7 year old when he was assistant coach of the team and me and a bunch of other fellow nerds in training found the sand for the long jump and were playing in the sand rather than chase the ball up and down the field.

Yep, I like biking though.
