reformedBiathlon. Central park is the perfect place to train.

Also, running really isn't a sport.

running not a sport??? are you kidding me? have you ever run a long distance? a half marathon at least? then you would know how hard that is

Yes, I have. Carrying a piano up 30 flights of stairs is also hard and physically demanding. Still doesn't make it a sport. Track and field is arguably a sport, same with cross country. Running fails to meet any basic definition of a sport. Ultimately, if you are not competing against other people, it is not a sport.

shit, whatever's around really

...but I just can't watch sports for very long on TV, it just bores me to watch other people do stuff. It's like watching porn instead of getting laid, or watching someone else eat a juicy steak....you kinda want to do it yourself after a while. Sorry "sports fans", I bartended for a decade and never understood people who would spend a beautiful Saturday watching other people hang out and have fun. I took their money, no problem, I just don't get it.

If Quiddich were real, I'd do that too
