I was never very physically active,liked the idea of hiking etc. but was admittedly a whiner about excercise. I am still a whiner at times...like more than two DNFs in a row in the same day makes me way cranky...but I am out and active ALOT. I have also gotten to see lots of places- even locally I would never have seen that I really enjoyed. I like using my brain on the puzzles, I like solving them with friends when they are more difficult...and I like the look on people's faces when I say it as casually as I talk about food...but they have nooooo idea what the heck I am talking about.
