Running. Ok, I know it’s not obscure, however, if you say you’re a runner, or that it’s a hobby, you’re frequently met with hostility, or people trying to talk you out of it. The amount of times people have said “running is bad for you, you need to stop” is insane.
I used to run when I was younger, but stopped in my late teens years because it wasn’t cool.
I was looking for an activity that didn’t require a lot of set up, or lugging gear somewhere, and that I could do regularly, without having to drive out to the back country (I love hiking). I figured if I gave it a try again, and hated it, I was out some shoes. I enjoyed it a lot more than I remembered, and got hooked.
