    Running is the worst thingI could do.

Because of your condition? Because you don't like it?

Because it's repetedly slamming with quite a lot of force a very vulnerable part of my body in to the ground.

It HURTS. I don't luke it because it HURTS. People assuming because condition and because you don't like aren't the same thing annoy me a ton.

I don't like it because it hurts. It doesn't matter if that is becuase of mu condition. Doing something over and over that hurts is not good. That is called self harm.

I train in ways that feel good. And not in ways that make my body feel weaker.

I swim, quite a lot and with quite a bit of skill. I'm currently working on my butterfly stroke and it's the best it's ever been.

I am reallt fit. Me not running is irrelevant.

I don't run, because for me running hurts.

Sounds like lower-impact exercise is the way you tend to need to go?

swedishbadgergirl  ·  3401 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yep. I also do some gymnastics, and diving - which is low impact if you land right, and most of the action is in the air or upside down which stretches the muscles in another way.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you or imply anything.

swedishbadgergirl  ·  3402 days ago  ·  link  ·  

You didn't offend me personally - I know you idn't mean anything bad by it.

But people assuming I'm not well trained because I don't run really annoy me - and I can't say that rant to them in person.
