[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess you need to take it SLOW, and slowly ramp up.

+1  Start very slowly.  I have a heart rate monitor and I adjust my pace to keep my heart beat under a desired maximum level (about 150 beats per minute for me, but this number varies based on your goals, age, health, etc.).  If you don't like a heart rate monitor, you can count your heart beats for 10 second and multiply by 6.  If my heart rate starts going too fast, I slow down or start walking.  When I started this, I could barely go 14 minute miles (which is barely a walk) and stay under my desired rate, but now I can go much faster.

Even if you decide running is not your "thing," try to keep doing it because you will really feel great.  It is amazing not getting tired when you climb steps or have to do some physical work.  I do other activities (biking, swimming, etc.)  but nothing makes me feel as good.  I feel like I just breath easier/better.  If you really don't like walking, try some fast walking.  Some of the skinniest women I know are power walkers (they tell me that if you are out walking a lot, you cannot be eating at that time).[/quote]
