    Take it sloooow. Don't worry about your speed/pace.

    Also look into Chi Running for tips on form. Feet should be landing directly below your body, not in front of your body. Check YouTube for videos on Chi Running. I've also found the videos by Newton Running on YouTube to be helpful.

    SHOES! I blew this advice off for so long because I didn't have a lot of money to spare on good running shoes, but OMG! When I finally splurged, I did myself the biggest favor! Go to an actual running store and have them evaluate the way you run...they will give you just a few pairs of shoes to pick from based on your foot structure and style of running. They know what they are talking about & it will make you wonder why you ever ran without shoes made for you!
