Title: Go outside
Post by: roboman2444 on May 10, 2009, 10:39:18 AM: Not to be a health critic or anything but some of us should go outside more often. You still can design robots while you are out there. It is nice to get some exercise and to have a life.(not that most of you have one already)

Post by: Sage on May 10, 2009, 10:54:04 AM: uhhh... ok.

i actually have a two hour soccer practice tonight. i have to walk a mile home from school everyday. (not exaggerating, its actually exactly one mile)
i just got back from a hour bike ride in 50 degree weather.

was there something that made you think we were all pedophiles with no lifes or what?

Post by: Somebody on May 10, 2009, 10:56:05 AM: I have a 1.5 hour baseball practice every day after school. When baseball isn't happening, its either basketball, soccer, or just normal swimming.

Post by: cephalopod on May 10, 2009, 11:28:51 AM: See, I would go outside, but I'm busy doing vital coursework today, and after school tomorrow, I seem to be stuck making the 2 mile walk home then off kayaking. This routine remains for the rest of the week. Next weekend I believe I am going to a nice Rapid-y river somewhere. Yay. I'm pretty happy with how much I go outdoors tbh.

Post by: frezal on May 10, 2009, 01:56:39 PM: I go on 4 mile walks two or three times a week. Considering that I'm 5'9" and weigh 130 lbs, I think that's probably good.

Post by: WhamettNuht on May 10, 2009, 02:16:27 PM: Just had a 4 hour outdoor robot event (unfortunatly, there was smokers amongst the roboteers, i HATE cigarette smoke, blah!)
Plus, on mon-wed me and my friend have to usually walk to and from school (1/4 mile!)
Then i might play out with my friends for an hour or 2, so i get quite a bit of time outside (plus my window is usually open if that counts, lol!)

I also have this. But I'm 15... it sounds much less impressive.

Also @roboman, gymnastics counts as outdoors? Always seemed in to me.

EDIT: took 4 mins to write that. Damn laptop crashing and having to use wii >.<

Is that strange? I got together with my last (and so far only) girlfriend at an age of 13. It lasted for 5 years and 8 months.

Me too!!!!!

Anyway, where exactly is this thread going? First it was persuading people to go outdoors, then it was people saying they do go outdoors which transformed into people going on about their hobbies/outdoors life, etc. Then it turned into a debate about a 13yr old having a girlfreind, which BTW, I don't consider too odd.

So...

Where is this thread going??

Cigarette smoke is awful. Hookah smoke, on the other hand, is wonderful. It's been a while since I've had any hookah, though. There are no good hookah shops here.
