Its all about what you want to do and makes you happy. When I was younger it was all about size and strength.
Now I am more into overall fitness.
Thisyear i have benched 300lbs which isn't anything special but its more than 90% of the male population can do.
A few weeks later I ran a marathon in 3:3:32 which isn't anything thats overly impressive but I was in the top 10% or better of finishers at a marathon with 2750 entered.
I know many people aren't that into running, I enjoy it. Many people I run with don't lift at all. I enjoy it.
This next year I plan to get stronger and faster. Those are my goals.
As NewChief said, anything to get your ass off the couch.
Edit: And both activities allow me to drink a lot of beer without being a fatass.
