These last couple of weeks I’ve come to realize something. This may not be news to other people, but it’s definitely news to me. I’ve realized, that I’m a much better swimmer than I am a runner.
I know, I know. My girlfriend said “well, d’uh” when I told her my realization. It makes me think that this may have been obvious to other people as well.
I think that part of it is that I was a highly competetive swimmer, and I’ve never been a competetive runner. Even as fat as I am now, I can still bring it when it comes time to prepare for a swim meet.
My realization got me to thinking, should I hang up my running shoes and just swim, or should I run and swim? It’s a hard question for me to answer since I enjoy both activities a lot. I wish I had enough time to do them both, but reality is that I only have time to do one or the other.
So, my question to you is:
Should I run or swim?
I’ll take a poll on that.

D’uh, swim. Easier on your joints, and did you see the 60 minutes interview with Phelps? Swimmers get to eat 10,000 calories a day!
They do, but they need to remember to stop eating that much when they stop swimming. That’s how I ended up with my current figure.
