    I love women's beach volleyball.

    I like it because of the sacrifices these women have made to get to where they are, the effort put in, the total devotion. It is an inspiration to me throughout my life. In the bleakest of times, at my weakest moments, I think of the sacrifices they have made, to pull me through.

    Running is cheap, I get constant scenery changes, I can do it on broken and uneven ground (which makes it much more fun), and I don't need to pay for expensive gear or a gym membership. Maximum bang for my buck.

    Easily rectified by a quick post in the babe thread and a link here. Come on now, don't be stingy.

    I used to run cross country back highschool, and have gotten back into running to get my weight, cholesterol, high blood pressure under control. I like how I feel afterwards, for the most part, but at my age pain is God's way of letting me know I'm still alive *it's kinda like hitting your thumb with a hammer, feels so good when I stop*. Some days I'm feeling very alive. Today I forgot to bring along my carbo-candy, and my blood sugar plunged to 42. I almost passed out before I got home.

    I'd have to second this, only to reach the pinnacle of perfection, it needs to be topless women beach volleyball.

    Then, every motion is a work of art in itself...

    I love playing waterpolo.

    It requires strength and finesse, teamwork and individual skill and huge reserves of grit and determination, nothing else quite feels the same to me. I guess that's why we all like the sports we do...they just have that je ne sais quoi that appeals to each of us individually.

    It generally is available on TV or the web.

    I love baseball. It's not just that it's exceedingly complex and can be thoroughly exciting in the playoffs. It's just as much the ambiance of going to a ball game. It's really something that can't be explained, it must be experienced.
    "You must know, then, that there are two methods of fight, the one by law, the other by force: the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is therefore necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man.
    -Niccolo Machiavelli

    Im with you on that. Played baseball for about 9 years and have been itching to get back into. Think I might play during college.
