Sports are good for the mind and the body. You should try it

Do you try many things you hate because they're good for you? Don't lie.

No, very few. Sports being one of them. It took almost a year but now I like it, and miss it if I don't get the chance to exercise. Getting a garmin watch helped me stay motivated, because I could see the progress I was making. I went from running 2.5km at 7min/km pace and almost dying to running 10km at 6min/km pace and feeling great, even being able to talk during. And I feel so, so much better in general. It's like the difference between being hungover vs normal, but all the time.

Yeah, your description of running is like reading about hell on earth.
