Running Sucks

AS I am re-entering the workout lifestyle I am now remembering some things about running. I cannot run anymore, my knees really hurt and that is sad cuz I liked running. I am now relegated to the stationary bicycle, recumbent cycle at that.
I remember my senior year in high school track. Bryan had done a drawing of a guy running who had a thought bubble that said "Running Sucks". I thought it was so funny I convinced the track team to each buy a silkscreen of it on some nice bright yellow shirts. We decided to wear them to school on meet days. This went well until the administration, i.e. J. Craig Rounds got wind of it and made it his personal mission to find every track team member and make us take it off or turn it inside out. (They kinda had problems with the word "sucks" back in the '80's).
J. Craig, of course told the Beef about it and I got a nice lecture about being a leader and blah, blah, blah...
The sad part was that the admin and coaches (Beef and Fischer) actually thought we were serious and hated running. The sadder part is that they missed the irony! Every runner loves to run until about ten miles into the marathon, they then question everything, only to finish and continue on to race another day. Since I can no longer run, I am on a quest to find something new that sucks. I need some new kinda kick...Who sings that song? A buck for the first right answer.
Anyway, right now, lifting weights sucks.

Yeah never heard of the song, is it even one?
anyway I got this punching bag it is on a stand the bottom part is filled with water to keep it from getting knocked over, anyway it is totally cool, it is a awesome workout and does not hurt your kness, but your arms get really tired and that would be something new that sucks!

Hmmm....I've always liked biking, but mine is still hanging in the garage so I don't know if it sucks or not after 40..

I strated rinning on my birthday because I couldn't exactly fit into a 36 inch wast anymore...I'll be damed if I'm going any bigger. I haven't lost any inches, but the 36's aren't so tight anymore....but yeah, running sucks.

Obviously no one knows the song. It is by the Cramps. Other hits by them are save it baby save it, I'm your garbage man, and something about the T.V.

Umm..the only Cramps I've ever heard of don't come in the way of musical groups.
