Subject: Why Do I Never Enjoy Running?I just don't get it, So may times I hear people say or read articles in which people say running is so much fun, or such an enjoyable activity. That people feel free or an escape when running, or when they were injured and not able to run they felt so bad and missed running. I have never had these feelings, running has always been a chore for me, never fun - always painful and agonizing. I liked training for a few triathlons I did, enjoyed the swimming and biking, never liked the running. To me it was just a neccessary evil I had to endure in order to do the complete triathlon. How does one learn to "enjoy" running. I enjoy ice cream, I enjoy a day at the lake or beach, I enjoy a good movie or listening to a live band, I enjoy biking or lifting weights ...but I have never enjoyed running. I miss the days when I could go out and run 7-10 miles, wish I have never lost that fitness and am now trying to get back into the sport, but I just do not enjoy running. What am I missing? |
