Even though I am the laziest person I know, I run.  (Case-in-point: if I have to pee I will wait until I have to get up to do something else because I'm too lazy to get up just to pee.  Though I suppose you might call this efficient, rather than lazy...)

I started running because I woke up one day and realized that I was a fatass.  I know right?  It was the strangest thing.  One night, the fat fairy paid me a visit and voila! I was fat the next day.  That bitch. 

But I digress... so running happened to be the cheapest form of exercise that didn't require joining a gym.  I hate gyms because gyms expose me to more people than I would otherwise need to be exposed to and I hate people.  And I think I hate gym people most of all.... OK, that's probably not completely true.  I'm sure I could find another group of people who I hate more.

I also like to run alone.  I don't need running to be my social outlet to bond with other runners (runners are actually pretty fucking annoying as a whole).  And I don't need someone yammering next to me while I run.  I don't need someone yammering next to me when I'm not running.

I never really understood those happy, dance-y, jazz hands types of exercising.  I mean, I guess it's a good workout if you're into that kind of nonsense, but exercise shouldn't be about dancing around like fools in fashionable attire; it should be about pain and torture and masochism, which is why i run.
