Running sucks. Anybody who says "I love to run" is either delusional or a liar. Yet I try to run every day. It has nothing to do with exercise or health.
I used to run a lot. But then I had kids. Ate poorly. Drank beer. You get the idea. But my tallest daughter has decided to take up running and wants to do a 5K. So Dad bought some new kicks and is back on the street training to run with her.
