Does Anyone Actually Like Running?

The title might seem a bit strange but the simple fact is I don't like, not even a little. I find it boring. That might seem weird coming from someone who runs at every Malahide Parkrun that I can get to. I now even run midweek in an effort to improve my times.  Cycle 4 DSI 2013 I find it boring because I need to have a purpose for doing whatever it is I choose to do. I love cycling because I will set out either to get somewhere or to explore a new area. I never like going for a cycle just to cycle. I tried doing a lap of the airport a few times and it is fun trying to beat your time but ultimately that isn't what motivates me. Why do I Parkrun? The simple truth is I enjoy the community. I say hello to the fella who was congratulated one week for having completed 50 runs. I have no idea what his name is and I never see him on the run as he is up with the fast folks. But I know him and he is there almost every week. I do know more people by name from volunteering,
