Imagine telling someone you hate doing something and they just tell you you need to work harder at it or do more of it. It’s a bit offensive, don’t you think?
Yes, I already said I don’t run that far or fast. No need to rub it in or brag at how much farther you can run. I do run a 5k each time, but “a bit over 3 miles” sounded less pretentious to say than “3.11 miles”. It takes me 32-36 minutes depending on the day, route, weather, etc. It’s slow.
I have no interest in running much farther of a distance. My time in the mornings before work is limited and I live in a very hot climate where I only get a very brief period after the sun rises before the heat is unbearable for running. In my area, people do run in the full sun when it’s 99F, but I personally cannot do that. If I accidentally start a run too late in the morning, I end up regretting it because of the heat. No, I don’t have any interest in running in the dark or running on a treadmill at a gym. Might eventually make my way up to 8k when it gets cooler out, but we’ll see. Def not going to be running farther than that.
Ahhh okay. Well I’m sorry for offending you, I didn’t intend to. I had no idea you live in such a hot climate. Where I live there are heat waves that get about 86F-100F but most of the summer the daily high is around 77. Even then I ran before dawn because I preferred the much cooler temperatures (as low as 57F).
I don’t run anymore though. I had a bad ankle injury at work a few years ago. Since then I’ve gained a lot of weight. I really miss running. I hope one day I can get back to it but I’d need to lose the weight first plus it’s tough with the long winters here.
