Ignoring the fact that "funny" and "fun" are not synonyms, running is absolutely fun. It's type 2 fun, not the quick dopamine hit of watching a movie or playing a video game, but I absolutely love running and would definitely describe it as "fun".
Type 2 fun, also known as adult-onset fun as contrast to type 1 fun aka juvenile fun.
Absolutely I do. And the process of training for it.
In '21 I was training for my first marathon before I got an injury and had to stop. In '22 I was better and trained for a marathon, where I felt amazing about achieving my goal time of 3:15. I also enjoy triathlons, which is part of why I'm not doing a marathon in '23 or '24, but right now I'm thinking I'll probably try for a 3:00 marathon in '25. The burn in your legs and lungs doesn't always feel great while you're running, but it doesn't take long afterwards before you absolutely love it.
That's a really good time, congrats. Untrained, I run only half the distance in that amount of time..
Me when other people dare to find fun and engagement in things I don't enjoy
Not everyone runs it in the shortest time possible. My longest run is probably close to a half marathon. It wasn't fast and it was fun. If it weren't fun, I wouldn't have done it.
That being said, some people who run it in the shortest time possible probably find it fun too.
