I don't like running. I am reasonably in shape, so I can sort of jog/walk for awhile if I need to, but after straight running for a couple minutes, I don't feel good. Irritable, like a kid who wants to stop.

But what if I WANT to run? I like that it is outdoors, and it is cardio, and a way to get out in the morning. And no, I don't want to walk.

I am just curious what it is for those who ENJOY running. For some it feels like freedom, meditation--but I don't know why.

I am also curious about those who don't really love it, but force themselves to do it.

I enjoy dancing, swimming, walking....and the IDEA of running. I do want to do it, even if just a little. I want that cardio, that oxygenation, a little burn. Any advice or motivation for someone like me?
