It's tough, for sure. I don't really feel like doing it until I actually get out there and start moving, then I'm glad I did.

Eek, maybe get different shoes? Go to a dedicated running store and they'll fit you with a pair that suits you best.
This.
Also, I had HORRIBLE shin splints for the first 20-30 miles I ran. It will get better, just stick with it.

It wouldn't hurt, but you will probably end up getting new shoes.

So i signed up for a 10km run on may 9th couple months to train. I started running last week after not running for a while my 1 mile time strate dout at 11:30 lol but this week i am back down to 9m40s the good thing is my heart rate was only around 131 to 139, and i was not gasping for breath. hope to be at 9minutes tonight. Next week we are getting soem warm weather so i can run outside.
I am thinking i should start running slow. Maybe 5min run, 1 min walk, repeat 4-5 times? Do that 3 times a week then keep increasing the run time. Plus my regular gym stuff 2 times a week.
Good plan or should is there a better way? Also should i do a 10k run before the actuall run or not?

Good plan or should is there a better way? Also should i do a 10k run before the actuall run or not? Well, I'm not sure the best way to train, but here's what I've been doing:
Started out Jan 1 with a goal of running 80 miles for the month. I was only running 2-3 miles the first 2 weeks or so because I hadn't run in such a long time. I would run at about an 8'30" pace for a couple minutes, then sprint for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then slow back down to an 8'30" pace again. I'd repeat that a couple times. Every few runs of 3 or so miles, I'd set out to run with a goal in mind of 4 miles or more just so I didn't get stuck in a rut and get used to only running 3 miles and nothing more. By the end of January, I was running a minimum of 4.5 miles each run with longer runs of 6 and 7 miles sprinkled in, again so as not to get used to only running 4.5 miles and nothing more. I would use the same philosophy, run for a couple minutes at a decent pace, then sprint for 30 to 1 minute, then slow back down to my normal pace.
Doing it this way while running 4-5 times a week helped me get to 90 miles in January, and this past Saturday, I set a pb by running 10.10 miles. Previously my pb was a bit over 7 miles...

When I lived in Philadelphia and bought a Miata in January (great time to get one cheap; it was about 20 degrees outside), I couldn't wait until it hit 45 degrees so I could put the top down per the manufacturer's recommendation. Now I wear long sleeves if it's below 65. Florida does weird things to a person.

I'm slowly losing motivation too, ugh. I was 'spoiled' by temps in the upper 30's, so all of my running was done outside. Now it's back to being shitty outside, and the treadmill is extremely fucking boring. I need the 'nice' weather to come back so I can actually get some 4-5 mile runs in.
Im right there with ya man.
