Have you tried trail running? Running in nature on windy trails is much more fun than just running along on asphalt. Because each trail is different it's also more difficult to compare pace and time between runs, so it's easier to stop thinking about the clock and just focus on the trail in front of you.

I hate running on tread mills even though that's probably also good training, but I don't consider it "real running" because of how mind numbing it is. But I always look forward to a good run in nature no matter the weather or time of year.
