Running, that is. To paraphrase a friend of mine (who's not on here): Biking is my lover, swimming is my spouse, and running is my b****! I do not like it, Sam I am. Is there any way to learn how to love it? I missed my tri on Sunday due to illness, and I'm signed up for another one in a month, which means I need to keep working on running. it's my weakest part of the event. Helllllp!!!:ohwell:

    Invest in an .mp3 player. Music and/or podcasts help quite a bit. Also, some sort of tracker - I use Nike+. Anything that helps turn it into a game. I love finding out that my speed today was 10 seconds per mile better than yesterday!

    Eight months ago, I told my trainer that I despised running. Yes, I used the word despised.

    I'm running the savannah rock and roll half on Novemer 5th. If I miss a run, I am visibly sad....

    It must also be snowing in hell, as it clearly froze over with the above transformation. ;)

    yes...I have hated it all my life until 6 months ago when my trainer forced me to start doing it. Now I do love it (when I am having a good day) and have gotten more results from adding it.
