How I did it: I let myself be convinced by my roommates to run a half-marathon.  After I paid money and told people I was doing it, then I HAD to train if I was going to make it through the race.  It took a month or two of training before I actually enjoyed running, but now, even after the race, I run because I enjoy it.  The race itself was like death, but I'm glad I did it!

Lessons & tips: Set yourself a tangible goal, like signing up for a race.  Do it with friends, so they can motivate you.  And finally, tell lots of people about the race so you can't back out.  It's very tempting.
