Run on tips of your fingers. After a first few runs your calves will hurt like hell, but once you get over it, you'll be set.

Edit: Drum'n'bass gets me into mood for running. Listening to it I have a feeling I'm more durable and since it's pretty fast (160-180 BPM), you can run to the beat without slowing down. Works for me.

well I just started running myself. I'm currently on the treadmill and I stopped lifting weights. I'm running 2 miles about 3-4x week. I do take my breaks but thats strictly for breathing since I get out of breathe quickly. Probably from the smoking, which I've stopped! [congrats!]

So the music is in check, the running and motivation was always in check since I always went to the gym at 5am before work, I'm picking up a new pair of asics to run in, and I just bought a bike for my after work tour de NYC.

I want to up my running a bit in the mornings so I guess I'll keep it on the treadmill for now. 2miles @ 5 speed [about 12min mile] hopefully i can get that down to a 10min mile @ 2miles and then I'll try for a longer distance then 2 miles.

Wish me luck! =)

Good luck dude, congrats on quitting smoking too!

i am in jasper, AB (canadian rockies) for the summer and I jog in the mountain trails around the city..best jogging ever with the view and stuff...it's hard as hell though...

I dont know if someone mentioned this but dont be fat. Running is hard and every oz you weigh extra is an extra pound you move every 8 steps.

I used to run a solid 7-10 miles easily and I weighed 155 at 6'1. at 192 it was 1 mile and I was glad I was done. Tone down and start of jogging.

Also, it takes 15-20 to really warm up so first 10 sucks, get over it

i ran 3 miles last night

don't spit into the wind
