Why running is easier than writing

I never walk away from a running session feeling that I’ve failed.

With running, I can just put one foot in front of the other, and at the end, whether it was a good session or not, I feel like I’ve accomplished something.

Writing is different.

Sometimes, I can type away at a scene for hours, just to realise that it doesn’t work, or that it doesn’t fit, or that the writing just isn’t good.
