Work out

I wish I had an urge to work out (the thing one does for cardiovascular exercise, not weight-lifting). I get the urge every once in a while, but I feel like I've exhausted all my options. I'm not really a fan of doing something for the sole purpose of a workout. Like running or biking. If there's a purpose in mind, these activities might be a little more appealing. If I ran with a destination in mind and without the need to run back, it might be a little more fulfilling. Or if I biked because that's the only way I could get from one place to another, I might enjoy it (but I'm sure I would quickly hate it after the first rainstorm or bitterly cold day). I enjoyed scaling a small mountain a few weekends ago. I had about 30 lbs on my back and I climbed up a rock-covered "mountain" (a loosely-used term because it wasn't a mountain in the Rockies sense of the word). But there aren't too many mountains in close proximity to me; they require a good half-hour drive. So altogether, it would take about 2 hours to get a workout. I would play sports like basketball, but for whatever reason, basketball is entirely associated with a certain group of people. I absolutely don't fit into that group of people, so I don't really like playing basketball in public. [Isn't it weird that certain sports are associated with certain groups of people? Basketball - thugs. Frisbee - hippies. Skiing - rich people.] Everyone says that walking's healthy. I don't know about that. It's just too easy. But it's all I have for now, so I guess I'm sticking with it. #health
