You can be a good distance runner without being particularly ripped. That is where I was at in my peak. Could run for ages, but still had a bit of extra flab on me. I was around 77kgs at 178cms, so I was definitely not skinny (not big either).

Just get a walkman and listen to tunes, don't run along the road, even I get bored doing that and I love running. Find a forest path, find some hills, mix your circuits up, and set yourself little challenges. You will probably find yourself loving running after a few weeks of consistent improvement.

Yeah I hate just running laps around a park or road running which is boring as f***.

I run around a big area of bushland near where I live that has a number of different paths with plenty of hills which helps you to mix it up and keep it interesting. Not many people use these paths either so it's a nice little escape from the hustle and bustle of the city where you can have a bit of peace and quiet.
