"I dont get a great deal of enjoyment out of jogging round and round for 3 hrs really, I mean this is kind of a drudge really ... I only do it because you know I want to perform well."
Ed had me in tears of laughter with this, absolutely classic!
Now i have a suitable answer to that simple question "Why?" when i tell someone my legs are a bit heavy after a weekend long run.
