Ten ways running is like giving birth.

1) You look forward to it.

2) Then while you're doing it it's not as much fun and heaps harder work than you thought it would be. But afterwards you feel freakin' amazing.

3) And exhausted.

4) You can do both at home, indoors or outdoors. Although running in a hospital may be frowned upon.

5) The last bit is the hardest, but also the most rewarding.

6) Both can turn you into a grunting, panting mass of sweaty limbs.

7) Many people look a bit like this afterwards:

8) Both leave you with a sore bum. Not quite the same type of sore, but still.

9) There are lots of ways to do both. Some people like to think they know the only 'right' way. They'd be wrong. The right way is your own way.

10) Very few people win medals for either.
