    Running. I did a marathon in October because my inner fat kid who couldn't do the 1 mile fitness test in elementary school wanted to prove that I could. It went well and I didn't hit the dreaded wall, but 4 months of constantly doing training runs was awful.

    My boot camp style classes are happily back on the front burner and running is something I do every other week just to make sure I can comfortably do a 10K fun run with my friends whenever it comes up.

    I don't do exercise I dislike. Perhaps that's why I've exercised over thirty years...

    At first I disliked squats, but eventually liked how it toned my bottom.

    At first I disliked sprinting because it was tough, then my body got used to it and it wasn't so hard.

    At first I disliked weighted walking lunges. I didn't have balance and I couldn't go too low. After a couple of months I started to like how it toned up my legs and made them stronger and it helped my balance.

    At first I disliked walking because I thought it was boring and it made me tired. Then I started getting stronger and going longer and eventually started going with my guy after dinner (great for bonding) and discovered that walking actually helped to clear my head and energized me.

    Now it turns out everything I'm doing I actually enjoy and most importantly I love my results. I think that's a main reason why I have stuck to exercising this time around.

    I don't like working my back because I rarely feel the burn. I know it's working but to be honest I kinda like the burning the next day. Let's me know which muscles I worked.

    Push-ups, rowing, one-legged stuff.

    I find OHP frustrating because I'm so bad at it and improve so much more slowly than on other things, but I don't hate it.

    Anything abs related. What's the point? I'm not trying to be pretty. Otherwise, load up the bar, give me a dumbbell and I'm good.

    Squats and push-ups ... I don't like squats because they remind me of being surprised by a freaking raccoon in the dead of night on a "roughing it" camping trip when I had to potty out in the woods. And I have been working my upper body for well over a year and for some reason push-ups just hurt and I can't do many of them.

    Wall balls. As a short human being, there is nothing I despise more than having to throw a heavy medicine ball at a 9 foot target repeatedly. Ugh!

    Cardio.... Used to love it, now hate it. Prefer to do weights - even heavy lifting - any day of the week.

    Doing cardio at the gym just sucks major *kitten*. Like I'll jump rope for 10-12 mins or whatever for warming up but nothing more than that. I just don't get how people can be on those elliptical machines for like an hour straight while watching Judge Judy on closed captioning and stuff. Ugh, it's horrible.
