My two most excruciating memories of physical unpleasantness: having strep throat, and cooling down after “the mile” in middle school gym class.
Gym class taught me that a healthy lifestyle is about extreme discipline and regular self-torture. It took me a decade to discover that you could ramp up into exercise in a way that didn’t make you want to die, and to make sense of the way other people talked about having any kind of positive experiences with it.
