Running is like giving birth.

Just wanted to share a thought that popped into my head on this morning's run.

Running is, for me, like giving birth. When you are in the middle of it you decide that there is no way you are ever, ever going to repeat the experience. But you forget the bad bits and before you know it you are back there again......

......or maybe I'm losing me marbles ....

I liken it to the terror of calling the doctor for a prostate check. You don;t really wanna do it, but you know that to stay healthy, it's definitely the right thing to do.

I say this from the opposite perspective of Gill's as I cannot say I have experience of giving birth.

Happy running!
