I'm human too...
It may not sound all that human, but I have run three marathons and several triathlons in recent years and oddly find this a great way to relax. With interests in technology as well as endurance sports you'll sometimes find me heading out on a long run wearing a whole collection of gadgets including MP3 player, heart rate monitor, and stopwatch. The GPS running computer should come next.
