WHAT I LIKE MOSTLY ABOUT RUNNING!

--- is the running community. Why is the running community so unique??? I believe that it is because if you tell 3 different runners of different ages, gender, weight, body shape, abilities to run 5K as fast and hard as they possibly can and then record their times, you will find 3 different results. They may be for example 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes. But EACH runner will be equally exhausted and equally hurting at the end of their runs and we KNOW this. The effort involved has been the same for all - and we are therefore all equal in this moment :) I have not experienced this so much at any other time or in any other aspect of my life.

I think that is a great way to look at it.

Being one of the 3rd people listed my frustration is that my runs take longer than the first persons .. but I guess the upside is that I get to enjoy the scenery more 😀

Very true and of some comfort to me!
