On a lighter but rantier note...

WHY?

Ugh. Stupid.

If you enjoy raking leaves from around a dozen trees in a quarter acre plot, then all strength to you. I've never understood why people like gardening. To me it is all hard labour. But raking and bagging leaves ranks right up there with shovelling snow.

I'm glad your mileage seems to vary.

Oh boy, shovelling snow!

It may help to point out that my only form of exercise is doing stuff like that, and I really like it. Running just feels like too much pain for not enough results. Raking leaves, shovelling snow and digging vegetable plots makes me feel like I've done something really useful and sleep really well.
