Of all the fucking things. I hate running so much. Ran for years, hated it the whole time. Finally just couldn't do it anymore. Was so sock of sore knees and shins, never mind being out in the damn cold before work on a gross winter day, dark, gray, wet. I hated getting up extra early before work and then having to jam in a shower and THEN start the day. I am so envious of people who find it enjoyable. They're so happy on their run, feeling good, satisfied with what they did. Hell, they go and do crazy things like marathons, 5ks etc. Such a foreign concept.

I dont feel better having stopped, but the thought of doing it again just fills me with dread.

Why can't they discover that reading a book while listening to music is fantastic for you?

I'm right there with you. I'll try running again the day that I see a runner smiling while running.
