*not saying sports aren't fun! Just not what this poll is about!

I was watching Sound of Music (wasn't sleepy, needed nostalgia and Julie Andrews to sing me to sleep lol) and during the Do Re Mi scene, just watching Julie take off full sprint after the boys got me so nostalgic for the days I could just...do that 😅 My knees are way too fucked for it now, but I still yearn to just take off sometimes!

I think the last time I ran like that was 10ish years ago. We got caught in a sudden downpour, and we all just took our flip flops off (they were soaked and slippery anyways) and bolted for our destination 😂 it was so fun! (To be clear we absolutely did not have to do that lol we weren't late or anything, and the rain felt great after the extremely hot day we'd had)
