Can Science Enthusiasts Also Excel in Sports and Fitness?

I was really fit. Just a few months away from the sheep, and I already feel myself going soft.

Moonbear you're not secretly a Welsh farmer by any chance are you?

Yes, full military gear makes a huge difference.

But I do walk faster than any I know, and i can keep it up for miles. I'm not doing the silly "power walkinhg" either, it's my normal pace.

I used to walk the 7 miles down the strip in Las Vegas in 115 F heat. I had one guy that could keep up with me, about 20 years younger.

Now that is open to all kinds of interpretations

Why do Welsh sheep farmers wear Levi button-fly jeans?

Because a sheep can hear a zipper at 100 yards

I like to think I'm pretty fit.

I do weigh 225 and some may think that is a lot, but a lot of it is muscle. Most people are surprised I weigh over 200 when I tell them, since I am thinner than most people expect for a guy who has that weight.

I work out regularly. I can jog a mile in 8 minutes, and I don't have much of a gut, either.

I have also taken up Judo, which is incredibly fun. Also, if you have a good sensei, they'll teach you how to modify some throws to use in self defence. I seriously recommend it for a great workout.

Working out is something that keeps me sane. If I spent all my time sitting in a chair in front of a computer I would lose it.

I hate exercise. It bores me to death. The only exercise I have ever been able to stand is doing something fun that happens to be exercise aswell. Some friends of mine and I used to spar with shinai (bamboo swords) and that was amazing fun. I could keep it up for hours. I would be sore the next day but being unable to move my hand due to the rapping my knuckles took usually took my mind off that.

I used to walk a lot when my car was broken down. That wasn't so bad, though it took hours out of my day and I had little time for anything but work. If it was only a couple miles to my job and I didn't need a lot of stuff with me I would probably walk it. It would certainly save on gas.

Im in the college soccer and basketball teams, play a lot of table tennis, run about 3km everyday, lift weights 4-5 times a week and am usually in the top 10% of my class.
