I am simply engaged in a never ending battle with the most feared and revered opponent I’ve ever come across: myself.
Seriously though, I don’t have the time / interest / patience to do group sports.
Running / cycling / hiking are great loner sports.
Oh, and maybe you didn’t realize it at the time, but kids are just as if not more brutal and competitive.
I occasionally help coach my son’s hockey team.
My dad did it back when he was a hippy.
He still talks very fondly of the time he spent out in the Arizona desert all those decades ago.
A piece of me would like to drop out of society and live in solitude.
While I lean towards being a loner, I realized that I am probably mostly a hybrid.
I enjoy some human interaction, but also love being alone to do whatever the fuck I want.
To me a commune would be too intimate and I think would end up being like a small town type of scenario which doesn’t appeal to me.
Yikes - that last bit hurt!
I am extremely cognizant as I ride my bike but know that even then there could be a point where I’m forced to share the road and end up a victim.
I’m just to the point where my drive is fully internal.
Stay healthy and “all around” fit is good enough!
