 Posted: Mon Aug 02, 2004 4:40 am Post subject: Is runing fun? |
 |
|
A couple days ago I ran a 10 k race with some mates. It was a round course of 2 K, so we had to pass 5 times the fiishing line. There was an announcer who commented on the conditions of the runners. I had the honour to be twice his victim:
- Look at his face, he doesn't enjoy running
- Come on smile, running is fun
I thought by myself f... bastard: running is never fun, it's deadly serious as it is with training ...
Talking to friends it seems I am pretty alone with my attitude. I seriously wonder: Am I mad?
How much fun do you have?
Regards
Peter |

I'd of gone over and kicked the announcer's butt, personally. 
Running is fun when it's going well, painful business otherwise.
I've only known one person to consistently smile while running hard...

| Haile G.? He was smiling when he passed Tergat in the Olympic 10,000 m finals, even though he was sprinting his guts out. |

Smiling in this phase could also mean: facial palsy  , it doesn't necessarily mean you have fun  |

I've never thought of Geb's racing expression as a smile so much as a horse with flaired nostrils and lips pulled back over the gums...
