When was the last time you saw anyone running any distance with a smile on their face?
a few years ago I did a trail race to support my friend's birthday. It was a ~3 mile loop through the woods. There was a 6, 12 , and 24 hour event I think. Someone had set up one of those cameras they use to track wildlife along the race route in a couple of places. They posted pictures from that event.
The vast majority of the runners caught on camera didn’t look like they were having fun at all especially as the day went by. Made you wonder why people run, especially very long distances.
