    I second what everyone else is saying about C25K. I used to run a lot before I had my son and then nothing for 2 plus years. Needless to say, it was very, very, very hard to get back on the horse! I used C25K in the beginning, and then as I got to about week 5, I wanted to run longer during periods of time. So, now I am running at about 5.0-5.2 as long as I can and then walking when I need to during a thirty minute window. I also run on the treadmill and find that it is much more forgiving on my joints than running outside. I hope to someday switch to outside, but I think that while I am still carrying all of this weight, the treadmill is my perfect place to run!
    Good luck to you....and it does get easier!
