Eureka

I finally figured out why people run. It's quite simple: because it feels so good when you stop. I'm not talking about the time immediately after a run, when your legs are sore, your lungs are on fire and you feel like you're about to puke. There's nothing good about that feeling. I mean stopping for a few days. I usually run Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Saturday, so my longest break is 2 days. But last week I did Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Sunday. Which meant I had three whole days of nothing. I felt like I was on vacation. It was wonderful.

Crap. Back to the grindstone.
