    Embrace the stiffness!

    While it does get annoying, I kinda like it as it reminds me I actually 'worked' the day before - more annoying when I can hardly walk down stairs however :).

    I found that after a few weeks of running it mostly went - at least if I wasn't really pushing myself.

    Warm up. I tend to walk at a brisk pace for 5 minutes or a quarter mile, whichever comes first (some days one, some days the other). I also HIGHLY recommend yoga. I do it once a week, but when I was just starting back into fitness did it 2-3 times a week and it made a huge difference in keeping my body limber.
