I'm with you, Cloud. I like being active, but in a strength-oriented way, not in an aerobic way. My high school was really good about offering a wide variety of P.E. classes, but unfortunately, one of the state requirements at the time was that every P.E. class, no matter the subject, had to have at least one six weeks of running. Just running.

Tennis, weight lifting, gymnastics... all of them were great--except for the stupid running segment. The irony is I got no meaningful exercise during those parts of the year because I just walked, no matter how much I got yelled at. I even played lacrosse for a short time on a completely extracurricular basis--but I was the goalie. No running.
