It should! Even in the military I hated to run and never ran more than 5 miles if I could avoid it. I entered a few short event/charity runs and hated every one of 'em. When I left the military and quit amateur boxing I never ran again, unless jogging across the street to avoid being hit by a car counts.
I don't mind long walks. After my shoulder injury last year I mostly walked 1-5 miles a day for months, including some fast walking -- although I never got the hang of the competitive rolling gait of speed walkers.
Gimme my bike, anytime.
