      Jokes that go over like a lead balloon
Last year I entered the New York City Marathon. The race started and immediately 
I was the last of the runners. It was embarrassing. The guy who was in front of me, 
second to last, was making fun of me. He said, "Hey buddy, how does it feel to be last?
I replied: "Do you want to know?" and I dropped out.

We work out too much. We waste time. A friend of mine runs marathons. 
He always talks about this "runner's high." But he has to go 26 miles for it. 
That's why I smoke and drink. I get the same feeling from a flight of stairs.

     (OWIM (Oh Well It’s Monday)

You know it is time to resume running when:

* You try to do a few pushups and discover that 
   certain body parts refuse to leave the floor.

* Your children look through your wedding album
   and want to know who mom's first husband was.

* You get winded just saying the words "10 kilometer run".

* You analyze your body honestly and decide 
   what you should develop first is your sense of humor.

* You step on a talking scale and it says, "Come back when you are alone"

     The Writer's Block

Thoughts come clearly while one walks.  Thomas Mann

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.  John Muir

Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.  Every day I walk myself into a 
state of well-being and walk away from every illness.  I have walked myself
 into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one 
cannot walk away from it.  Soren Kierkegaard

Walks. The body advances, 
while the mind flutters around it like a bird.  Jules Renard

You need special shoes for hiking - and a bit of a special soul as well. Bäche

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, 
all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read and all the 
friends I want to see.  John Burroughs

The civilized man has built a coach, 
but has lost the use of his feet.  Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your body is built for walking.  Gary Yanker

What They Said
Deciding to take up jogging, the man was astounded by the wide selection of jogging shoes available at the local sports shoe store. While trying on a basic pair of jogging shoe, he noticed a minor feature and asked the clerk:
"What is this little pocket thing here on the side for?"
And the clerk: "Oh, that's to carry spare change so you can call your wife to 
come pick you up when you've jogged too far.
"

There is this to be said for walking:  It's the one mode of human locomotion by which a man proceeds on his own two feet, upright, erect, as a man should be, not squatting on his rear haunches like a frog.  Edward Abbey
