I tell people that I hate running because my football coaches in high school used it as a punishment when we lineman screwed up. That is probably at least partially true.
But I think I hated running before that though...
I hate running because in kindergarden I came home and told my folks we had a race in school and I was the fastest. The reality was I was one of the slowest.
I lied because I needed to live up to a make believe standard that I created in my mind, and it is to date the first time I can remember creating a mask so that I could hide who I really was from people I really wanted to love me, and who I thought loved me bacause of how I performed.
I still hate running...
