If the dance of the run isn’t fun then discover another dance, because without fun the good of the run is undone, and a suffering runner always quits, sooner or later.
Make exercise fun, do an activity that brings you pleasure and joy.
Evolved individuals
Avoid extremes,
Avoid extravagance,
Avoid excess.
— Tao Te Ching, No. 29
Make exercise a habit.
