I think it's important to acknowledge that the first few miles of a run are the worst. If you think 3-5 miles is an exceptional distance you've probably never run long enough to really get into an enjoyable state. For me, it's around 7-10 miles. Where you run matters too. I enjoy running near water - Fresh Pond or the Charles River. I'd suggest running daily, following Hal Higdon's marathon training guide wherever it's most beautiful. http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/Mar00index.htm http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/Mar00index.htm
