Damn my path sucks for right now, just flat the whole way pretty much. I figured once I get the ability to go farther and longer I can make it a ways down this other road that has some hills.

Hey congrats on at least getting out there. If it makes you feel any better I go to the gym almost everyday. I have been bad this week. I do between 40-60 min of cardio on the eliptical machine because it is easier on the knees and stuff. I have it one of the highest levels as well. I then go off and do weights off the machines. At home a have a weight bench and that 'block or brick" system of free weights. I usually swim 2 km about 2 times a week.
One day I missed the gym and went for a run instead. My weight is low enough now I don't believe I am going to wreck my knees. Let me tell you I was SHOCKED the next day I was in so much pain for a 20 min casual run/jog so don't feel bad because I am in shape and I was in PAIN. Especially an ass muscle. You used totally different muscles or something when you run naturally.
I was told if you exercise too much you retain water. I am a fuzzy eater too so I always make sure I drink lots of water and a least one sport drink for the electrolytes. I think mine are a bit fucked because I get really bad cramps in my legs and feet.
Keep it up but don't push yourself too much in the beginning you hurt yourself.
I suggest a personal trainer maybe for 2 times to get you on the right track. They know their stuff. I don't believe they are as expensive as you might think. Also gyms sometimes will give consolations if you are a member. Fitness World, One of my gyms does free body fat for free. That way you can really check your improvements. I also took a bunch of before and after pictures.
Keep with it. Some people go to church, I go to the gym. My body is my temple. heheh

Man, I can't run today, my legs are still hardly letting me walk. My calves and right under feel like they were hit with a jackhammer lol. Oh well, no pain no gain. |

this is quite true for anyawys lol. I'm in alot better shap than poor old stooz here, I've just been off work for a few months so I've gotten lazy.
[edit] Ok stooz, I did it, I forced myself lmao. and im glad I did, some old lady made me laugh. I was walking up to a corner getting my heart rate back down (3am btw) and planned on jogging again once i got to the corner. Well at the time I got to the corner some older lady was walking through her fenced in yard to get to her card, well as I started jogging i saw her going back through the fence door latching it shut and walking to her house. I wasn't paying much attention to her but as I had passed by her and she realized I was just jogging I barely heard her go "Oh" as in "Oh he's just jogging" It all came together when I heard the fence door yet again so I turned my head and saw her going back out to her car to leave lol. She thought I was after her lmao |

Last question.. what sort of schedule should I be on? Run everyday? Every other day? 3 times a week? Twice a week? |
I have a very similar life as yours, i started doing something for myself about 6 months ago ... at first running for 1-2 times a week for 15 minutes nearly killed me now after 6 months i run 5 times a week for 20 minutes without pauses and i have lost about 10 kg. I think doing an overall 2-3 hours of gymnastic per week nicely distributed in all the days and a good amount of willpower are the key !

I am jogging too. Last year I got up to 6 miles, 4 days a week. Then I got shin splints, a chest infection, then very bad flu and I had to stop jogging. I started again now and I am running 3 miles, 3 days a week at a slow speed. My goal is to do 2 miles in 12 minutes and 5 miles in 35 minutes. The best I have got so far is 2 miles in 13:14 minutes and 5 miles in 40 minutes. That was on a treadmill though, it's harder on the road or track.
In a few weeks I am going to start adding in sprint training.
Here is some stuff I learned:
You have to start off slow with walking, then short slow runs and build up very gradually.
You need good running shoes.
Warm-up and cool-down with walking and slow jogging for about 0.5 miles.
Stretch after you run (don't bother stretching before).
Don't run too much on the hard surface road, run on tracks or dirt or treadmill.
Make sure you drink alot of water through out the day. After you have sweated alot its good to have an electrolite drink (lucozade, gatorade etc.).
Don't listen to music if you run on the road! Watch out for cars!
It's very helpful to do swimming and other stuff on your non-running days.
Look up fartlek training.
Don't push too hard. You should be able to speak a conversation with someone while running. If you are testing yourself for a personal best you can run hard, perhaps even until you vomit.
Do these exercises 3 times a week on non-running days:

You ever tried jogging and having a conversation with a friend? It just not fun!  buy an mp3 player, or an ipod and jog while listening to some upbeat music  keeps your mind occupied and your body moving and you can complain when you sleep

Yeah I know what you mean with the friend / partner thing. I used to jog nightly. Everyday. When they're gone it's just not as competative enough. It's just running. You'd rather be home
You gotta push through that.

Yah I've been running at night only at like midnight, 1am.. haha. Very peaceful but gets boring I guess, but I am able to get past that.
I was forced to cool it for a few days, damn my shins were getting very upset. 
Lots of good advice in here though, glad some of the rest of you are up and movers.

Damn, I can already feel a difference. I'd prob do alot better and run longer if I'd give me legs the chance to rest lol. But I normally come home pure exhausted from my hair follicles down to my toe nails and today it's just my legs

I found a way to counter the thing that always didn't allow me to continue doing a physical activity: doing it in my house (actually doing it with a stepper) and watching that couple of terabytes of anime i never had the time to watch ... i felt no more bored while doing something for my health !

Of course, I have to be in great shape for my job, but once I was in horrible physical condition too. I actually had to lose 30kg to apply to be a cop! It does get easier, pretty fast. In a month or two you'll be running 8km without pausing for a walk. Just run at least 3-4 times a week for optimal gains, also try to run at dusk or dawn when the sun is low. It really, REALLY makes a difference. Remember to buy good shoes. Asics, Mizuni, etc.
