I need to see how my back responds. But I really hate running. Did I say I hate running?
I am training for a metric century in May (just started road biking), and after that I think I can train for a tri in the fall.
Your opinion of running is/was exactly the same as mine and I started w/ the couch to 5k program too - keep at it and dedicate to it - it works.
I have gone from I really really hate running to I dislike running to where i am now - i tolerate running.
BUT tris on the other hand - I LOVE them! so I put up w/ the running
Welcome aboard
) tris and triathletes are one of the best thing that have happened in life
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
