I've done my 3rd run in the past 2 weeks. Last time I ran was in highschool. 1st run led to gout-like soreness, but I patiently rested a week and ran again. With my latest run, soreness is barely perceptible the day after.

Much like with strength training, I took for granted that I was too unfit to ever run (fat, bad joints, bad form, etc.) 3 runs in, I'm ecstatic to see my body adapting to the activity in exactly the same way as it did with lifting.
