Theories about running.

So here are a few theories I have that contradict normal thoughts about running:

Normal thought:
People say that you feel great after finishing a long challenging run.
My thought:
I disagree. I think that after having 30 minutes of self inflicted agony, when you finally stop you truly appreciate how you normally feel.


Normal thought:
Running brings you closer together as a couple.
My thought:
Running is a time spent not talking that leaves you too exhausted to fight about anything later in the day. (So maybe)

Normal thought:
Running makes you look hot.
My thought:
Running makes you look like your hands are perched up like a Velociraptor and that any moment you could fall over, puke, passout, and pee yourself. Did you know at cross country meets it is normal for people to lose bladder control after a long run? How hot is that? (Because I know too much about a few people on the site I feel I must clarify. Urine is not hot, ever.)

Normal thought:
Running is great cause you get outside.
My thought:
Things that feel like death to me, running and coldness. In a month I will have a lovely combination of both of those things.

Normal thought:
Everyone dies one day, they say that when you run and are healthy you live longer and cheat death.
My thought:
I don't believe that you are cheating death. I believe you are slowly experiencing it over a longer period of time through the pain of running and healthy food. Therefor death doesn't have to come to you as soon because you have been meeting with him regularly.
Enough ventilation.

Progress

Ran a 5k today with the wife as part of the training for the half marathon. It was tough, I wasn't too sure if I was going to make it all the way there cause my leg muscles were so sore, but she encouraged me through it. So the training is going well.

Tonight we play halo. That is the thought that gets me to the finish line.
