Long-distance running:
1. Side ache at mile 2. I can usually breathe it out before mile 3, but sometimes is lingers.
2. Bountiful Blvd. - 10 miles of uphill, downhill, uphill, downhill, uphill, uphill, uphill.
3. I think I've run more miles than my shoes can handle. They look brand new, but I know the gel is hard (for the give-away see #5). Time for a new pair of these dogs (in my running dreams).
4. Something is wrong with my ankle since Saturday's run. Kate's theory (and a good one) is that I don't run normal. Put me in slow motion and you'll probably see my left foot mutating with each step.
5. My whole body aches today. I'm in timeout.
6. Next week will be better.

You are so funny! I love your blog. I am glad it is you running and not me. At the REC center I can do 1 lap & then I am done while my boys do 16-18. I know it's pathetic. I am an old fart.
these are the exact reasons that i hate running. now, how is it when you are feeling this way you could get addicted? i just can't fathom how a person could think, "wow. i love that pain. i can't wait to do it again." please...explain!
I don't know how to explain it, other than it's kind of like crack. The endorphins are pumping and it messes with your head. There are definitely stages of uphoria and freedom and I-feel-awesome-ness, but then the reality when your body starts talking is crap, that hurts. Even though it hurts, the sense of accomplishment is out of this world.
