Runner or couch potato? AKA a mildly interesting NY Times article.

Eh, I'm lucky enough to walk 3-5 miles per day for work on top of running, so I'm not a couch potato; I also lift weights seriously and train for short distance races, so I don't consider myself exactly a recreational runner. I've been on a competitive team for a few years now. So IDK where I fit. 'Misguidedly competitive yet only mildly talented wannabe runner'? 'All around fitness person'?

PRs: 5k 19:25, mile 5:38, HM 1:30:56

Lifting PRs: bench press 125lb, back squat 205 lb, deadlift 245lb

Depending on the activity, I'm one or another animal specifically evolved to not be subject to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
