I have run quite a bit in my time. I was in the Army for 5 years. But I got in a motorcycle accident in 2004 and I'm still feeling the effects of the multiple fractures in my left leg. My doc advised against running, so that's why I walked. I really wish I could find a way to run a little, not that I like it, but because I want to actually complete ALL aspects of the tri!

Congrats on the first tri!
May I ask a question: What is stopping you from running? We're all Clydes here, so if it's a weight concern, that's certainly understandable. But if it's merely no prior experience with running, then there are plans to help with that. Of course, check with a doctor before entering any training plan.
What I've found interesting is that running is the area I can most easily make a major improvement in my success. I of course continue to build on my cycling, and over the winter will push to improve my swimming with near daily pool swims. But if I can just get to a 10 minute mile, I can cut 15 minutes off my finish times.
