I went skiing today with a buddy. At the end of the day he mentioned how good it felt to get the boots off, along with all the other gear.<br><br>
That's when it hit me, pretty much all my hobbies involve activities that feel really good to stop doing. I like to run, but it feels great to stop. I like to bike, feels good when I stop. Swim, ditto. Ski, hike... even backpacking, it's fun, I enjoy it - but it's great to get home, get those boots off and take a shower.<br><br>
Weird. I wonder... I should have my wife beat me with a bat. I know I'lll enjoy it when she stops. It's cheaper than triathlon...

How do you know she'll stop?

Good point...

Some things are really more fun while you do them! <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">

But those aren't hobbies...

I only agree with you on the running. Skiing, biking, etc. I really enjoy while I'm doing it - ya it can get uncomfortable at times, but I'd rather feel that thigh burn as I carve down the mountain than the rush of blood to my feet when I get my boots off.
