I managed by an accident of relocation to be an international sportsman. I enjoyed sport at school but not the sadists with small men syndrome that seemed to teach it. A school sports injury resulted in two years of recovery, multiple operations, social isolation and bullying. Any wonder that I questioned the merit of me having to give a piggy back to someone heavier than I was while wearing rugby boots on a rock hard post-drought rugby pitch...
Fortunately geocaching gives me exercise, a challenge and gets me away from my desk. I have a very sporty daughter who is up for any type of sport.
Wow, Michael - what an ordeal! Glad you found something that suits you now - and, yes, getting away from the desk is essential and exercise makes us more productive when we return to it again.
My kids are also sporty and try everything out. I only told them recently that I wasn't always into sport - I think they found it hard to believe. I guess, I didn't tell them because I didn't want them to be like me when I was younger, but they are like them, and that's good so.
