??????????!

Chafing – that’s all I’m gonna say.

many people have trouble parallel parking.

Here goes…

American media typically depicts people who are high all of the time as talking like California surfers. “Whoah…bummer dude”, etc.She is conflating the pain from excessive physical activity with “Runner’s High”.She is sufficiently sedentary that walking across the school parking lot constitutes excessive physical activity.Thus, if she were right, every time that she had to walk more than the minimum distance from her car she would get high and start talking like a stoner.

Out here in the ‘burbs, the Serious Runners always run on the edge of the highway, even when there’s a perfectly good path ten feet from the road. This leads me to suspect that “runner’s high” is really anoxia high caused by inhaling CO-laden car exhaust while running.

If a joke needs to be explained…it isn’t funny.

I always get a little chuckle when I go to the fitness center and see people driving around in cars looking for a parking place close to the door.

Did we stop being funny?????????

Should talk like a surfer been walk like a surfer?I guess I need the explanation also.

@treesareus is right. Running constantly is not how we were designed. We were designed to stalk and then sprint. Rarely did Paleolithic man run a marathon to catch his prey. Running and Constant Cardio is a huge stressor that only feels good because of endorphins your body produces to dull the pain. People are addicted to that endorphin rush.

We also were designed to not run in shoes, but to allow the calf muscles to act as a natural shock absorber and run/sprint with a forefoot strike rather than heel.

Going back to the stalking, our fuel system is created to run efficiently at low speed(walking, low speed, etc), and is built to run on long burn fuel like fat. Holfing off on running or sprinting(and fighting),allowed te. Body to us glycogen for that last large bout of energy needed for th muscles……not the trip leading to the kill.

I’d look into paleo diets and training if you are interested. I’d add my personal experience with running led to paleo, after many injures that were unexplainable other than the constant stress. Grok On!

Personally, I occasionally love a joke that I need explained to me. & I’ll even find such jokes funny. I’m happy that I did find an explaination of “talk like a surfer” here, even if I had to weed through all the strange lectures & comments about exercise. Now, be excellent to each other & party on, dudes!

The Tarahumara (or Raramuri) people of the Copper Canyons in Mexico have always run everywhere, and always in bare feet. “The Rarámuri people are known for their endurance running. Living in the canyons, they travel great vertical distances, which they often do by running nonstop for hours.” (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_Canyon)Those canyon walls are mostly vertical, so the people are running “nonstop for hours” literally up and down. Food for thought! They’re an interesting people to read about. No surfing, though.

I thought it might have something to do with her being a confirmed waddler herself.

@tacopie,yes, runing is better than sitting (which we were NOT designed to do) but swimmers are fitter than runners, they use more of their bodies. Obsticle courses are more natural and better over all, more fun too!
