Who wants to go running?



I’ve never been an athletic person. I am small and twiggy even as a child (see the picture above)
I was the kid who got out of gym in elementary because of asthma.
I took my last half of my “gym” credits in high school at the local community college taking a weight lifting class.
I AM NOT ATHLETIC.

These are my "dino arms". This is the picture before I busted my butt while taking the group jumping picture.

There's always a faster way



So I park pretty far out there to avoid the hassles of finding a parking spot at UT Tyler, which means I have to walk a little ways to get to class. Recently as I'm trying to get back into my phenom physique I've started to run to class, today especially. You see I was running late and class started in 3 minutes, so I was basically sprinting across campus to get to my class. Running out of breath and getting tired I naturally slow down to a jog, when suddenly a guy on a longboard glides next to me nonchalantly eating an egg mcmuffin, he looks extremely relaxed as every now and then he pushes his leg out to give more propulsion but it looks all so effortless. He looks over at me as I huff and puff trying to keep up and says "you should get a longboard bro" and then glides away. I kind of chuckle to myself as somebody on a bike passes him, then somebody riding a golfcart passes her. I find it extremely funny, that no matter what you're doing there is a faster and easier way to get it done, even moving. Then I laughed because I realized I was the 2nd link in the chain of evolution, the first being walking, the evolution of that being jogging and so on and so forth. So I imagine as I run past people they look upon my godly physique and sigh that they but can only walk.
