I would rate my life satisfaction as at least moderate, but is nothing about being alive that could possibly justify the experience of exercise, particularly of running. Given the choice between a lifetime of regular running or death, I’d choose death without even blinking.

You would be missing out on some great experiences. Running is what humans are good at: our bodies are evolutionarily adapted for it. It makes you feel good. Yes, running is hard at first, if you're sedentary. But I can assure you that regular running is considerably more enjoyable than death :)
