How do i get myself to run again?

I ran for about six months with my sister. In the past five years, I may have tried running again for a week or two. The desire to start running again has always been settled in my brain, but the motivation is buried in there. I remember those mornings, six a.m., getting into my running clothes and shoes, heading out with my sister and being welcomed by the morning. The cool breeze, the sun getting warmer as it rises, the feeling of glee when the high kicked in. I wish I had been able to stick with the experience longer, but that summer I got sidetracked. I never really considered myself a "runner" ever since I gave up, until I read the book No Need For Speed, which says I am a runner because I want to be one. I am the most out of shape I've ever been in my life, and have a LOT of weight to lose, so I am really intimidated. Plus I have to come up with a way to buy shoes. It's the perfect time of year to get started, as spring will be here soon, but I feel so scared. My plan is to walk on my treadmill for about a month until I start losing a little and feeling more fit (I like doing Pilates, too), and then when the weather gets warmer I will hit the roads with the old Couch to 5K running plan that worked for me all those years ago. If I can get together a good list of reasons to run, I should be able to convince myself to DO THIS again! Wish me luck. :wavey:
