Me, just idling around: Man I like... really want to be a runner again for some reason
18 y/o me, kicking down the door: WHO ARE YOU
#anyways the other day i was in california and like#i saw an ad for this one run thatd be going up the '''foothills'''#(i cant believe you insane fuckers over there call BIG ASS MOUNTAINS 'FOOTHILLS' THE FUCK)#and it was a 7 mile run with a goddamn 4000ft elevation gain. ONE WAY. ONLY UPHILL.#and my thought was 'my god this seems like absolute hellish torture! ... i kinda wanna try it'#and im in no way in shape to do a flathill 7miler again and also am on the east coast now but like... the thought was there#and then i remembered... i actually like running when its on my own terms?#... and yknow i dont have my 'im a closeted trans person in a very cishet christian environment' issue anymore#on top of the usual high school angst of being neurodivergent and never fitting in even with teammates#... and tbh i think the literal emotional abuse my coach put me through mightve been what soured me away from running after i graduated#but like. damn. if its on my own terms... running pretty fun though#plus its a good way to get into shape so i can get back into rock climbing and highpointing#anyways hi im riding the 'ITS ALMOST SPRING I NEED TO BE OUTSIDE AND EXERCISING' high
