Being uncomfortable/sick is not pain. I'm saying you can't be bored and at the same time, have your heart racing at 200 bpm or gasping for air like you're drowning.
It depends how sick you were but for me running a marathon is pain, getting a fever is just being uncomfortable.
Fever is not usually pain. Headache is pain. Fever ties more into the boredom.
But heart racing and gasping for air sounds more like discomfort to me...
Actually I have better example. I've had highly painful things done to my teeth while very much being bored. And while relatively comfortable outside of the pain.
The topic is about exercising, and I don't think it means running a marathon. Exercising is about regularity and pain should be considered very seriously.
