Running is fantastic meditation. You get to the point where the body numbs out the pain and you are left in a meditative trance where the world floats by you. A way to truly experience the nature around you.
I quit entering races quite a while ago and don't run with a watch anymore. Far more enjoyable as an activity than a mechanical goal oriented task.
I'm looking at doing the Sawback Trail in Banff this year as a goal run
If you don't enjoy running why bother doing it? You can get most of the health benefit from HIIT.
