That's how most people feel about working out. The hardest part is getting the running shoes on, but once you're doing it, it feels really good.

I don't think it is unusual for people to have an averse reaction to investing in themselves, although it does look illogical from the outside.

Nitpick: It feels really good for most people.

For me, I just feel like crap. I've run a marathon before and done a lot of other types of exercise, but that 'glow' that people report having is not something that I've ever gotten. I don't feel good after a workout or during one; I feel tired, gross, and irratiable.
