its all about progress, either you run faster or for longer that way ur always gonna be getting fitter

get a running partner ifu ca, i always enjoy myself much more running with a friend

I didn't bother reading everyones advice so I hope mine helps a little.

Being 300 lbs at one point. I know what its like to not be able to jog. I started out only walking, to build up leg strength. And as far the stitch in your side. Its annoying but doesn't physically stop you from jogging. Early on I would push myself to jog to one point. Then start walking, force myself to jog another section. And then walk. I kept doing this and increasing it each time I excercised. I wasn't worried what people thought about me only jogging a little. But that helped breaking in slowly. You want to push yourself to get any better, but not try to do a whole jog. Take quick breaks of walking to help your endurance.

Good thing that you exercise regularly by running. Running helps burning fat and it's helpful in a long run. Good luck! I do run and exercise with a work-out equipment depends on a certain situation and mood.

I've posted a few times about the Couch to 5K running plan. It's basically a table detailing a running plan that gets you fit over 9 weeks. I'm just about to start week 3 and it's working really well for me, I've never been a jogger and always thought it was something I couldn't do. Now I'm confident that I'll be happily jogging long distance by early next year!
