Two contrasting thoughts on this topic:
It took me ages to be ale to run and enjoy it. To run a whole 3 mile round through the neighbourhood was a major achievement for me and took some month of practising.
There was a point though, where running started to feel good. When I had this break-through after some month, I started to really enjoy running and was able to do more miles.
I like the versatility of running, that you can run anywhere with minimal equipment. It's a really good workout when you can't do anything else.
On the other hand, of all the different workouts I do, running seems to be the most "dangerous", where I seem to be most prone to injury. I bike and swim, do circle training, body weight exercises and a little bit of weight lifting and seldom experience problems. But I hurt myself in various ways when running (this is while striving for good form). So even if I like running, I try to limit my running to small amounts. Maybe I am really just not made for running.
