    hey, congrats! I started jogging last summer after a lifetime of abhoring the mere thought of running. And I discovered that I really enjoy it! Have you gotten proper running shoes? If not, I highly recommend that you invest in a pair. After 2 weeks of running in crappy shoes, my knees started to really hurt. I upgraded my shoes and never had a problem since.

    you mean when jogging? I think a walk/jog/walk/jog pace is to be expected otherwise new runners would probably get burned out pretty quick. Hell, I still do the walk/jog thing...I don't view walking as failing at running.

    Congrats! Keep at it because it will get easier.

    I call running my prozac because it totally clears my head and lifts my spirit.

    How does it motivate you for running?? Or is it just trying to say that the music will help?

    I know I can't run without my music. But then again I run 10km, and it gets verrrrrryyyyyy borrrrring.

    But congrats! I run 10km almost everyday in under 50 minutes...and in June I could barely jog for more than 20 minutes.

    Good for you.

    I walk more than Job but I can tell you it will get very addictive. I used to get pissed when I couldnt go walking!

    Helps to have an MP3 Player. I listened to talk radio all the time, well until my fav show got cancelled. But it helps take your mind off the monotony of the running, and you forget bodily aches, and get tired less. (Its really just a mind over matter thing.)

    Good for you! Your thread motivated me to try the same thing today. I just got off my treadmill. I tried walking for 4 minutes and then jogging for 2 minutes. I think I tried running too fast though because I could only last for about 25 minutes, and I can walk at a pretty fast pace for 45 minutes or more. Maybe tomorrow I'll try jogging at a slower pace. I have never enjoyed running, but I'm going to try to learn to like it. If I give it a fair chance and still don't like it, then I'll just switch back to strictly walking.

    Running is my prozac, too. There is, by far, nothing as emotionally and mentally relaxing as a few hard miles with your favorite tunes

    Yay, I love to read this stuff. Good for all of you guys that are getting into running. I love running, actually its more of a love/hate relationship depending on the day.

    Just to plant a seed for the future, it can be fun to train for an event...starting with something small, like a 5K (just over 3 miles). You can find them locally on www.active.com. And it doesn't matter if you run, run/walk, or crawl through it...as long you get some sense of accomplishment, it will keep you motivated.

    In the long term, a marathon (26.2 miles) or a half marathon (13.1 miles) is an awesome experience...especially the huge ones like NYC or Chicago or Amsterdam, etc. There is nothing that compares to running with thousands and thousands of people. You get seeded so you end up with people who are going at your pace.

    Just a thought.

    Love to inline skate, but jogging just seems boring to me. (Then again, I've never had a jogging buddy.)

    Moreover, I invariable screw up my lower back with jogging. If anyone has remedies--say, a special strengthening or stretching regime--for this problem, let me know!
