Hm, good thinking. There is a small park nearby where the air should be a little bit cleaner. Can't skate or bike there, but running should be okay.

I can see that. For starters I don't have much money to spend on fancy shoes. But I figure I don't really need one of those air cushioned laser guided spaceships on my feet anyway. What makes a good shoe though, good question. I suppose.. men with big feet.. need large.. shoes?

But it all depends on what you want to achieve. ... Overstraining is one major issue why many start and fail, because they try to do it all at once.
I can work out a little schedule, gradually build things up. Two of my flatmates study to become fitness instructors. I'm sure either wouldn't mind having a look at my 'program'. As for overstraining, that's the trick isn't it? Getting things right from the get go. In the ghetto. In the ghetto. People don't you uunderstand, the child needs a heelping hand. Or he'll gonna be an angry young man some daay. Take a look at you and me, are we too bliind to see! Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way..
