Great analogy post, hopefully you are able to get back out there consistently. I've been running more healthy recently, and I've been hesitant to try to go faster than regular training runs for fear of hurting myself again. Maybe in a while I'll work back up to being able to run fast again.

Those are great analogies for how I feel about running. My struggle though, is not in conveying that that's how I feel, but in getting people to understand why. For a lot of people, running is work. It's not partying. It's not relaxing on a beach. It's work. But to me it's freedom, happiness, love. That's what they don't get.

Nicely put! I would compare it to that moment when you watch a beautiful sunset and you just think "wow, I am incredibly happy in this moment".

Not being able to run when you want is such an awful feeling :(. Is it any consolation that you put it into words really well? I love the sound of music analogy - one of my favorite movies!

Great way to put it! I'd say that for me, I do all the other things in the midst of a lay off to make sure I can return to the sport I love sooner rather than later.

Great job explaining it. I don't have that same feeling that you have. Their are times I just want to quit, but I no how
great I feel after a run or a
good workout. KEEP ON RUNNING

Perfect analogies!!! It is just when the rhythm and everything gets all in check and the miles click away...that's the sweet spot!!

I think those are great! I especially get the vacation one. Every time I see a pic from a vacation I can just remember every moment of it. I think most people can relate to that.
