Thanks for all the advice.

missjane,
I'll look up the couch to 5k running program. I've never heard of it before.

Barret,
I've been started out slowly. I don't run for very long only about 15 minute and I'm running embarrassingly slowly right now. This morning some guy went running by me so fast that I decided to speed up a bit so I wouldn't look bad. That was a mistake. I just ended up tiring out really quickly.

Gen,
I think my shoes are good.
Running on grass really does make a difference. I had been running on grass until today. Today I tried another route and ended up running on pavement most of the time.
Yep, I'm an American living in the UK. I've been here for a year. How long have you been here?

Phaedrus49er,
I used to land on my heels when I ran all the time. I only recently learned that I shouldn't, but it's a hard habit to break. I really have to think about it. I'm getting out of the habit now.

Thanks for all the great advice.
