All Joy and No Fun
Why parents hate parenting.
Referring to the cited study on pleasure versus reward on page 5, although at times running can be unpleasurable, for the most part it both very fun and very rewarding.
Maybe it's because I'm with my kids less than my wife (due mostly to my work schedule and a little bit from, uh, my racing) and she does a higher percentage of the grunt work, I swear I think it's more fun to hang out with them than she does.
By the way, my recent sleep deprived state which has prevented timely blogging is the result mostly of my work schedule and hanging with my kids who have been out of preschool and camp this month, and not from running too much, which I am not.

Working, kids, and alot for running I have to thank Apple for the iPhone! I'm a shy guy and a bit of a geek, and love anything to do with ultrarunning so it makes it easy.
