people laugh at me when i say this, but cross country really screwed with my legs, hips, and back.

After running over 10 miles per day, 6 days a week (only 2 miles on sundays), your body get pretty worn out. You run on uneven ground, in mud, creeks/rivers, sleet, bad weather, etc. Did that crap for 3 years straight. Literally all 4 seasons without a break.

I cant stand for more than 30 minutes without severe back pain. Ugh

 

and that's why I've always said running is the worst physical excercise you could do So much pressure on the joints erodes all the cartillage and the other good stuff

 

happy belated b-day you tool!
