I don't think you can become an outstanding runner unless you get a certain amount of enjoyment out of the suffering. You have to enjoy absorbing it, controlling it and—ultimately—overcoming it.

Speaking of pain - this morning's workout at run group was 10x400m repeats. There's something about those short, fast workouts that kick my butt every time. Thankfully I had Mick there to keep my legs moving - and talk me into running two extra. It was a great workout. I could really use a nap though!
