I have an answer for you and its quite simple really the pain is enduring the seemingly endless hours of training in all sorts of weather be it rain snow or heat day in and day out for several years. Helping a friend nurse one injury or another. The pleasure is seeing the same person not quit and STILL want to continue to train even though they are hurting . Then you have the pain of running a marathon dealing with blisters and the fact that they are afraid their achillies would give out on them at any time. wondering if they should drop out. The pleasure is coming across the finish line knowing they have just completed thier FIRST FULL 26.2 mile Marathon
sure their are hurting but they are comforted in knowing this simple phrase "Chuck Norris Never Ran a Marathon !"
Hows that for an example any one else ?
