Have you heard of the Galloway method? You run in intervals. I currently use a 1 minute run and 30 second walk, but you can play with them and figure out what works best for you. It's a great way to rehabilitate yourself and get back in condition, and then run injury-free. Good luck and good for you for getting back out there!

I feel you, but I'm fighting to get back out there. I'm trying to find a way to maintain my weight by changing my lifestyle.
