I want to run, but I hate running. Why?

Capt Bob Abbott Bob, I'm right there with you. From cross country in high school through running in the military its something I actually crave but not something I'm especially good at. Not now or ever, really. I ran a 15:42 three mile in XC and about a 15:30 two mile at Airborne. Almost 30 years spanned these two events. After a bad PLF and two titanium screws in my right leg you'd thing I'd learn. Not so much. In fact, I just walked in the door from running 5 miles. It took me 40 minutes so I'm no speedster. With that said, I too have dreamed of marathon glory...just finishing it would be glory for me. What happens is I get to about the 90 minute mark and I just lose interest. I've actually gotten so far out onto a long run and lost interest (mostly in the run back...) that I've stopped and called my wife or son to come get me. Sad, I know. I don't get tired. I don't ache any more than usual, I just get bored. You're not weird. Not at all.
