Running, for most people, is the hardest thing to get started. Not jogging...running. I reckon there are gateway drugs like cycling or swimming that could draw people in, but most people see running on a regular basis, especially hard running, as extremely difficult to want to do. Who could blame them? I don't enjoy beating myself senseless with a hammer either.

Afterwards, like a guy who drank way too much the night before and thinking “I’m never drinking again,” I’ll be thinking “I’m never racing again.”
