Don: The combination of run/walking is a very good way to ease yourself into running; however, for now I would stick with just walking. You'll want to walk or ride practically every day. The key is to do it a low intensity. If possible have your spouse/friend/dog/cat/bird/??? get out an walk with you. Work up until you can walk comfortably for an hour. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water, wear sunscreen, look both ways before you cross the street, wear clean underwear and anything else our mom's might have advised us to do to be safe
