As a runner (if you are a runner or athlete), your definition of fun - which might once have included water parks, screwball comedies on DVD, relaxation and scrapbooking-must be, well, let's just say broadened and now might include the following screwball activities:
- Waking up at 5:30 am or earlier to run 10 -15 miles
- Running in the blistering heat
- Running in the rain
- Running in 400m circles....for the fun of it!!!
- Feeling as if your lungs are about to explode
- Paying good money for the privilege of turning your toenails black.....and then losing them
- Any combination of the above
- Feeling as if you have to do these things for your own well being!! (or so you don't get divorced and drowned the kids!!)
