I don't know anyone who gets up in the morning and thinks "Ooh, yes, I'm going for a JOG!"
Exercise to get fit isn't meant to be enjoyable per se, it's a means to an end

For a few months I used to get up every weekend at 6am to be in the gym for 7.

that is dedicated
I'm usually there by 6.45 if I'm going, but it is only a ten minute walk

Mine's only a ten minute walk too.
But I had to give it some time to wake up and have a coffee.

I hate the gym

Your gym's quite nice
Or so it looks from the outside, through my binoculars

now I know you're lying
you can't see my gym from the outside. Also no matter how nice the gym I'm always going to hate it

What, cos if your gym had windows it might have been true?

no but this confirms it
just in case.

I've been getting up at 6am 3 times a week
to go out a run - before work!

Have kept this up for a month now.

I totally LOVE walking for exercise.

Ditto.
But then I find walking pleasant, and jogging distinctly unpleasant. Nothing quite like a nice long walk for shifting a hangover.

A full English and a mile in the pool works wonders for me.

swimming a mile takes too long for my liking
I'll usually swim half a mile before I get too bored

I wouldn't mind swimming if people weren't always in my fucking way.

( girlinthehole, Wed 16 Jun 2010, 10:46, Reply)

that is annoying
there's never a happy medium either. people are either fast as fuck, evil swimming demons, or they are floundering about barely not drowning.

my usual speed is fast as fuck, but even when I'm trying to go as slow as possible without sinking people are still in the way.
