Am I a Runner?

That's the question I've been asking myself since I finished my first 5K in March. I've tried and tried to convince myself that I love to run. But the truth is, I don't. I never have and I'm starting to wonder if I ever will.
I've hated running since I was in Junior High. I went to all the track meet and did the obligatory events and pretty much sucked at them all. I continued to participate in track in high school and it was the same story. I can't think of a time that I ever won a ribbon in track for anything. Why did I put myself through that torture? Because where I grew up, EVERYONE participated in EVERYTHING. I remember playing volleyball and basketball with 7 people on our team. In basketball, if you got in foul trouble, it really was trouble, because chances were, there wasn't anybody on the bench to take your place. I've never really excelled at anything, BUT, I experienced almost everything.
So fast forward almost 20 years and I'm running. I'm running more now than I ever did in high school. Thank you C25K! If you don't know what it is, google it! It's awesome! I am running 3 miles at a time. My goal is to run three times a week, but life is crazy and my family comes first, so two is the norm. When I was in school, I never ran more than two miles at time, this is truly a first for me. I can't believe how much progress I've made. The fact that I can do any type of physical activity for more than 5 minutes is HUGE!
Here's the hard part, I thought I would grow to love it and look forward to it. I don't, I still dread it and hate the thought of running. I have to force myself to run. I just signed up for my 2nd 5K next week and I'm considering training for a 10K... I think I've lost my mind. Why do I do it? I'm not completely sure. This is a major accomplishment for me and I'm not ready to quit (like I always do). I also feel really good AFTER I run. Not before, not really during, but when I'm sitting at the table with my strawberry protein shake (gotta rebuild those damaged muscles).
I guess my question is, Can someone who hates to run be a runner? If so, that'd be me....Maybe I am a runner....
