    i love running for that calm, almost zen like feeling you get when your body and mind are focused and you feel like you could run forever. It's wonderful to run outside in the early morning with the sun rising and the birds singing, and your body feels like an oiled machine!
    Doesn't always happen and most times i feel like hell but when it does it is so worth the effort.

    To the Op, start slowly and walk as soon as you feel your breathing is getting hard.

    You read my mind!

    I didn't start running until my early 50s (hated running as a kid) and I only took it up because, like eating your vegetables, it's good for you. Surprised the hell out of me when I found that I could actually increase my times/distances and that I actually enjoyed it.

    Try and find some place interesting to run. A park with lots of things to see and other folks to look at may be a good choice. City streets early in the morning can be fun too.
