Why not try a shorter distance and build up? Or try some eleptical or stationary bike first and see how those go?

I started running a few weeks ago and am glad I did it! I even have the dreaded head sensitivity to movements and for some reason running is ok.

I say go for it cause it's no fun living inside your mind all the time.

Just don't try it if you have something big coming up.

Also, I just run for short spurts then rest. Pushing through during exercise doesn't result in improvement.
