    When you are first starting you might actually find yourself running even slower than you walk. Do not worry about speed at all at first. I felt like I was almost running in place when I started out. Once you are able to run 2 to 3 miles then you can start worrying about speed. I started out with a 18 minutes per mile pace and have finally made it to 13 minutes.

    I walk one mile in 17 minutes so I know one mile for jogging will probably be 20 minutes...maybe I just need to take my time and slow it down like everyone is saying :)

    Read the following--if I had read it I would not have been sidelined with an injury last year. Priceless advice from a very experienced runner.
