What other 'things' do u all do?
Obviously, we are all here because we run in some shape or form  , but what else does everyone do to occupy their time?
I'm having a nosey night you see.
Me, I currently work (unfortunately booo hiss) and then I have a 4 legged beast to deal with each night - that being a horse and not some weird twisted reference! When I have the time, and a partner I like to get out on my mountain bike and pick up as man cuts and bruises as possible - I'm not very good at getting over stuff, I just hit it then go flying  Jumping it is toooo scary (although I will happily do it on my horse!).
If I have pennies I go out and cause havoc, although at 25 I am realyl losing interest in getting bladdered and making more of a tit of myself - I will leave the shambles drunk states to my OH.
Other than that I draw stuff when I feel the 'urge'
I will also admit to being a Bebo user, so for the nosey of you have a look for Iliekshoes1982 - and no its not spelt wrong

I don't mind sharing.
I work for Jewsons specializing in renewable energy.
My other hobby is Archery (interesting that as I wrote this I was thinking of my exercise as a hobby rather than a chore)
My only other real passion is my Wife who is my soul mate.

I Work as a Design Engineer for Jaguar Land Rover, run, fiddle around with computers (building them and working with, inc some website design stuff). Love getting stuck into about any sport going - I've done a reasonable amount of mountain biking, (including some jumps  ), tried various bits n bobs like horse riding etc (which the missus is into) and erm... that's about it! (complicated fella eh?  )

I'm a Health Trainer with the NHS. I swim 4 or 5 times a week and run, walk or cycle everywhere as I am unable to drive. I am also a 6th Dan black belt in traditional Wado Ryu karate and run my own karate club. I like to relax with a book or my playstaion 3.

I'm a work-shy Council desk jockey during the day, and run, go to the gym and play the guitar the rest of the time. I tend to go to quite a few concerts, about 20-30 a year, and have been known to stalk my favorite bands across the country when they're on tour in the UK.

Secretary by day, but in my spare time I enjoy going out on the bike. Other than that I'm pretty much one of those disgusting couch potatoes i despise, but I just can't help it! Maybe I need some more engery-rich roods in my diet

I'm a data analyst, a 7th kup at Tae Kwon Do (just so you know, that's a long, long way off black belt!) and a keen photographer, plus I'm learning how to garden by tackling ours, which was neglected for abt 10-15 years by the previous owners. I've also been researching my family history, but haven't had a spare minute to do any research for a few months now.

I was a black belt when I worked the doors, it didn't help much. In the end just had to go with the flow and fight like the punters. Still kept getting slapped though:eek:
Pass on my congrats to your son; brown belt that is excellent
Edit: It wouldn't happen now due to my running skills
