I'm similar - really don't enjoy lifting (but still do it), but absolutely look forward to and enjoy running.
I've noticed a trend / correlation between people who are naturally thick / muscular tend to have that opposite disposition- they love lifting, and hate running.
I do enjoy running. It's the highlight of my day. Took about a year of 3x a week before it started becoming enjoyable.
I'm no athlete, but I like the results.
