What I enjoy about running, is the outdoors. It's pretty liberating after dealing with stress all day at the office or something.
I can't stand to do my cardio exercise indoors- it just feels totally wrong. I use a pilates training machine inside for core stuff and resistance, but I have to get my heart rate up outside. Doing all that moving while staying in the same place on an elliptical? It just feels really weird. So I swim, which I do like. I just don't love it like I loved running.
I totally agree, running sometimes is like therapy after a stressful day. I'm sorry you can't anymore.
Cycling is a close second for me. But more to worry about when I'm on the road riding as opposed to running. I got clipped once when I was riding. I also agree about the elliptical, I find it a chore.
