Speaking of Inane:
I'd consider myself a hiker, that said & looking at my current stat's on my exercise log:
After a weekend of 31.6 miles hiking I'm averaging 3.277 miles a week this year hiking. (last week that was around 2 miles a week) To do that much hiking, I'm here, on AMC & Alpinezone & reading my WMG & any guide covering where I'm hiking, April was the Catskill book.
I'm jogging 3.007 miles a week outside, I'm wearing cool max & $100 running shoes but don't get any running magazines or visit any websites.
I'm walking 6.774 miles a week, mostly in older running shoes or casual shoes, no gear, no magazines, no websites.
I'm on a treadmill (mostly jogging) 7.20 miles a week, cool max. running shoes, but no Fitness mag, Men's Health or any treadmill or website
Averaging 6.345 miles on a bicycle, mostly indoors on a stationary bike, no subscription or visit to Velo (any velo website) even though my brother is fairly well known in CT bike racing circles & is a Class 2 Racer.
A few miles more jogging later this week & hiking will be the activity I have less miles doing.
If I fall off my bike, fall while jogging or walking I wonder how I'll be flamed on those websites.
When I hunted, I did not read any NRA publication or get on Outdoor Life or Ted Nugent's website
The point of this (is there one?) is that if I spend all my time biking or running & decide I want to mix up my routinue one day, how much research will I do? I spend more time doing other activities without researching them.
