Spring exercise program

I always feel a little better when I have some sort of exercise program going on and after a winter of eating I have decided its time to get off my ass and do something. Running always seems like the most convienient thing since all you need is some decent shoes. I went into it last year about the same time and quickly worked my way up to 10 miles then lost interest after my used up knees started giving me trouble. This time I am going to be a little more calculating about it and avoid minor aches and paines by using a training guide and set some not so lofty goals. Untill my training guide arrives I will keep it short and stay on decent pavement. Who knows I may be able to hang with Mom next time I see her. I've been 3 times so far probably about 2-3 miles each time without much problem.
