Yeah I see what people meant earlier in the thread when they said it stops being a chore and something you enjoy, I'm starting to get it. First it's just a chore, then it's a chore but one you feel really bad about skipping, then you start to really enjoy having finished the run (especially at an unprecedented pace) and look forward to the next one. Maybe it needs to be done outdoors for it to be an intrinsically pleasant experience.
Good on you for hitting the sweet spot in running, Stue. Are you finding the endorphin zone yet?
