The only way to get better is to keep trying it.

When I started running on my treadmill I think the first day after 2 minutes I was DONE.

Now I can easily run half an hour to 45 minutes on my treadmill at a decent 4.5 pace. I'm not a fast runner but I have some endurance at least!

I tried the c25k and didn't care for it- the music selections with the stuff I downloaded was terrible so I kind of just did my own thing, warm up a few minutes, then run as much as I could, then slow down and then walk a bit, then run again. :)

My nutritionist told me just start out with a few minutes a day- and you'll see over time you'll say "I can go longer" and you will :) As for a goal to look towards how about this will help you lose more weight AND will make you healthier :D

The key is to keep at it- there were days I had to tell myself "GET UP AND DO IT RIGHT NOW!" and I'd go do it and when I was done I'd feel great- try to remember how you feel after a workout- that really helps :)

I have a music player so I listen to music when I am out. Or you could get a book reader.
