I can't stand Shriver when she's proving a point, since it's usually hammered into your head with all the subtlety of a Donald Trump tweet. Completely unnecessary chapter.

"I did not love running. Here's a pointer for you: no one does. They pretend to, but they're lying. The only good part is having run. In the moment, it's dull, and hard as in effortful but not as in difficult to master. It's repetitive. It doesn't open the floodgates of revelation, as I'm sure you've been led to expect."
