When I see him running in full gear, the only thing I can think of is, "he wants to be seen".
I find it laughable.

So what's your problem? At least he is getting exercise. Or are you one of those people who thinks anybody that drinks or smokes is a POS? I assure you he doesn't give a hoot what you think.

Ye, because bottom line, it's none of your business. Grow up.

I'm not justifying, just not joining in on mocking him. Yes, he does some unhealthy things, but because he does, that doesn't mean he should just go all the way and sit on the couch eating bon-bons and never moving. People and their behaviors are seldom all good or all bad.

Guess you've never spent much time with members of our military. They drink/smoke cigs, and work-out all the time.

And just since your coming ATL soon, one of the best beer/cig combo I've ever had is after I ran the Peachtree Road Race

Must be nice being perfect.

I fail to see the problem.

I very seldom smoke weed anymore but every now and then, mostly when I am where it is legal, and it does motivate me to run longer.

I run because I like running and I really don´t worry about my fittnes, that is just a side benefit. The same with climbing or any othe sport I do.

I used to know a serious Ultra runner who ate cannabis so he did not impact his lungs and still could run high.

I didnt know you could aet it. Good to know!

At least the guy exercises. He loves to drink and smoke but exercise is good so why not?

Obviously you've never heard of Hash House Harriers.

"Drinkers with a running problem".

I have a friend who gets hammered off her nut till 3am then goes for a 20k run the next morning.

I was a long-time smoker/partier and also used to hike, bike, run regularly and do 10Ks...I don't see anything wrong with what he's doing.

Obviously it would be more acceptable to the OP if he was perfect in all regards...but I don't know anyone who is. Kudos to him for getting exercise, never a bad thing.

Never heard of the Hash House Harriers, that is interesting!
