Pain - Part 1

From Monday, May 7:
It is so surprising how much pain we, as in humankind, as in runners, deliberately put themselves through.

Running hurts. It's NOT fun. I've just returned from my first run and I can't move.
I have decided to lie comatose on the floor until I can breath. Or move. Or drink water.

Thank goodness for husbands. He brought me water, while my dog jumped on my chest in excitement. Why am I lying down? Is it play time??? He brings me a toy and I just don't have the energy to throw it.

I accidentally picked a route with a huge hill. I walked it. It was not easy. So here's a tip for any beginners: it's not advisable to try and take on a hill on your first run!!!

I am missing that sense of euphoria that is supposed to come with this. I think I lost it somewhere on Yonge Street.
