In an attempt (a permanent one, I hope) I've picked up running with my girlfriend. What's a good distance to start at for someone pretty out of shape? Should I change speeds or go at a constant (comfortable but not easy) pace? Should I occasionally take breaks? Any tips on this would be good...

I'm actually running at a park nearby. I've done the walking thing for 3 weeks now (the part of town I live in is centralized, so I'm right near EVERYTHING and in walking distance). Is it better to run in grass or on a track? If a track, I can find one nearby. I'm sure the university has a track I can use.

Also, what's a good drink supplement to go along with running.

And, I don't smoke. My only real habit is that of not working out. But, as you can see, I'm trying to change that.
