Have fun running off the little amount of muscle you've attained in life.
I always think "why" when someone tells me about some long cardio activity.
Yeah, we got it, everyone enjoys something different...whatever, you need your lean mass small body. ;D

Don't run, it's better to be healthy and lean instead.

You probably don't want to hear this, but the key to getting better at running - as with most things in life - is to do it more often.

I like to mix it up; on Tuesday I do intervals/a fartlek/3 mile best effort, Thursday I do a 45 - 60 min normal paced run and on sunday a 90 min easy run.

Here's a good forum for advice:

Running one on Sept 26 and a full marathon on oct 9. Lots of music in the ipod, running partner, if you have a dog, perfect running partner. Good luck with the half marathon
