I do not understand runners, you guys are a truly different breed of human.
Running with the Kenyans, Adharanand FinnOne woman tells me, as we sit in the grass, that she thinks running is like getting drunk in reverse. With drinking, it feels great at first, but then you start feeling awful. With running, you feel awful at first, but then, after you finish, you feel great. That sounds like a much better deal.
I get what she's saying, running does do that. But drinking gets me feeling better as I progress, not worse.
Me neither but for some reason I have a history of dating marathoners. It was odd that we could wake up and they would go out running and I would go out for breakfast and maybe catch a movie or hang out with friends and be back home before them. I used to take great glee in reminding them what happened to the first person that ever ran a marathon. (Spoiler alert: He immediately died.)
