If you're anything like me, it's because you don't like the notion of commitment to a situation when you are aware of your own limits and/or when you want to test them. In a group, you all gravitate towards a median of effort... some of you are faster/stronger than others.
This is okay. My issue is that I'm afraid I'm either holding somebody back, or making somebody feel like they're not pushing if I'm faster.
Sometimes, I just like to clear my head. I like me time to do that- and running/working out falls under that. I'm able to achieve levels of clarity that I don't normally when I am dripping sweat and feeling my legs or abs burn. This is another reason why I miss martial arts/boxing/etc.
As for age- it's a number. It's trite, but I've met people who are extraordinarily self-reliant and mature who are a decade younger than me.
