Just move out to Utah and ski 5 days a week...by far the best way to get in shape. That is one handsome fellow, Barron.

Even when I was running all the time, I would often have to drag myself off the couch, but less than 5 minutes into the run I was always psyched to be doing it. I probably could have started running again a month ago, but haven't been able to get back into the groove.

All kinds of studies show that exercise helps keep your mind sharp, helps keep your energy up, helps you sleep better, makes you live longer, etc. There’s really no excuse not to be in shape.</i> Speaking for my corner of the lazy masses it's all about short term discomfort versus long term gains. On any given day (at least in the winter) I'd rather drive to work than bike. I know that if I bike to work regularly I'll be happier overall but that completely failed to motivate me right up until I gave my car to my husband and had no other choice than to venture out into the cold. Also I've totally done the sled dog thing, only with two golden retrievers and rollerblades. If you ever try this with Baron I demand video coverage ;-) I honestly don’t know how people do it!
