Is the way my shoes stink and I can never get my running clothes to really smell decent. But even with all that running is my favorite pastime. What can you add to the list of things you endure to do the sport you love? http://obsessedrunner.blogspot.com

The thing I hate must about running is RIGHT NOW - still feeling sick as dog (with nausea) almost three hours after finishing a run. Not sure if it was a hydration thing, but damn, it sucks.

...its hard, tedious work and for all those hours, in the cold, in the wind, in the rain, on the ice, on the snow, dodging cars...hours and hours each week...it doesn't seem to get easier.

You need Win. It works miracles with the stinky clothes. I get mildly irritated by (but don't hate) the patience required. I always feel ready to run farther and faster, but get ahead of myself and get injured.

Getting to the first step, after that it just keeps getting better.

The negative thoughts pre-run, and the voices in my head that try to talk me out of running and into munchies and beer. Replaced by... The positive thoughts and good feelings after I (yet again) ignore the voices, get my miles in, and relax, enjoying munchies and beer.

finding a decent sports bra the treadmill that I have to get a babysitter if I want to run with DH and the first 15 min- for some reason I can run forever if I can just get through the first 15 min, but those 15 are not ever fun running on a full stomach

I hate that I lose so much if I stop running for any length of time. Guess that means I can't stop!
