Masochism

I sent an email expressing my enjoyment of a run and thanking a friend for getting me out for 3.5 miles when I was rather exhausted already from a few hours of hard manual labor earlier in the day. She sent me the following response:

"Joy in self mutilation ... you are in your very heart of hearts a runner.

Jog on my sick, sick friend."

Made me smile. I may yet be very slow, but, yes, I am a runner.
