Does it ever go away??

Question for all you runners out there....
Does that feeling of "I'd rather give birth than get on this treadmill and run" ever go away? If so, when?

YES!!!! and once it does, you're hooked and can't stop! it took me until i could run 2 miles and feel GOOD until i stopped hating it - which was like a good 6 weeks or so. hang in there!

I havent been a runner in a very long time. However, when I was, I lived for it (prior to children). I'd agree, 6 weeks.
Yes, before that it is sheer torture.

Your breastfeeding boobs (oops, breasts, i forgot you like proper names ;)) will never let you fully enjoy it.

Trust me. I'm a professional runner.

6 weeks?!? ok, i have seriously ran regularly for six weeks before and by the end of six weeks i would have prefered to give birth to TRIPLETS before getting on that treadmill. i don't think i'm built to be a runner. period.

yoga. pilates. i think i need to try those...
