I don’t think I’ve actually been in decent shape since I hit puberty and traded basketball for guitar. Given the current economic climate, it seems reasonable to attempt to get myself to a place wherein I can bike around as much as possible, rather than having to pay for gas whenever I need to get eggs and milk. Also, the better shape I’m in, the better I’ll deal with playing a week’s worth of shows. (Yes, that logic is sort of circular.)
