I'm a runner. I run 20-25 miles a week, mostly on wooded trails, and 
participate in area road races in which I usually finish slightly ahead 
of the middle of the pack (eg. last week I placed 81st out of 178 
runners). I find the two sports complement each other nicely (one mostly 
above the waist, one mostly below the waist) but one thing I cherish 
about running is the relative lack of gear. I can get out of bed on a 
summer morning, grab two socks, two shoes and a pair of shorts and be out 
the door within minutes. I think about that sometimes when I'm staring 
into the rear hatch of my car saying "Let's see: PFD, skirt, paddle, 
spare paddle, pump, paddle float, paddleshoes, lunch, water, extra 
clothes, sunglasses, hat, binoculars..." You get the idea.
