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.

Did about 4.4 miles this morning, on the way to my 13.1 in June with Team in Training.
If you guys are like me and need motivation to keep you going you might want to consider looking into TNT - there are chapters EVERYWHERE.
I signed up to do a half marathon, but they do fulls, tris, bike events, etc. etc. and if you're in the right shape for it they'll train you for an ironman and get you into the event.
Also, the added bonus of the seemingly 4:1 ratio of females to males isn't anything to shake a stick at either.
