2.  Don't get burn out :-)

Personal:

I herniated/ruptured a disk (L4/L5) in my back in December, 2005.  I told my orthopedic surgeon I wanted to start running.  He said "You'll never run again.".  What a challenge!  So...I started running.

Since then I've lost about 50 pounds, ran 13 marathons and a number of other races. 

I am still a clydesdale runner (over 200 lbs), have a large frame, big bones, and not built like a runner at all.  I'm not fast.  I mostly run to have some time to myself and keep in shape.

Finally getting back into the running thing.  Good 7.15 loop in Smithfield with Tom.  Starting up 6th South, I came down on my forfoot pretty hard on my left leg.  Felt a pinch in my left calf that hurt pretty bad for about 15 meters.  Took it easy up hill.  7:40/mile AP.  Tom is in a lot better shape than me.  It will be good to run with him to help motivate me and get back into shape.
