    Get outside and get some fresh air into your lungs!! Buy an ipod/mp3 and load it up with motivating music, put your RUNNING shoes on and just go! The treadmill is easier and you can control your pace/speed and it is still a brilliant workout but outside you have natural inclines, ever changing scenery, fresh air, and YOU have to push yourself forward! So what if you have to run/walk until you build up endurance, I promise you will feel as though you have had a proper workout and your endorphines will be going crazy when you get home! Hmmm think i'm gonna have to go for my 15km run to the beach and back now :-)

    Have fun!

    Running on a dreadmill is easier on your body - but sooooo boring! Ugh! I live in the Pacific Northwest so I spent a great deal of the year running in rain, high winds, cold temps, more rain....all preferable to running in a climate controlled gym and being forced to watch Fox News because some old lady got there a few minutes before you and grabbed the remote control.
