Are you running multiple short distances during the week?
That's the best way to train and build up, don't try and run one 3 or 4 mile run having not done anything, just try and run 1 or 2 miles 4 times a week until you don't feel any ill effects the next day.

Then you can add a slightly longer run at weekends instead of one fo the short runs.

I dont feel any effects today
This is most pleasing. I'll go for another run tomorrow night as I have the joy of finishing painting the bathroom tonight (and some overtime)

It was so cold last night,
I didn't realise how cold it was until I took a swig of my drink and got a brain freeze. I think this is what was starting to cause me stomach cramps.

Whichever way I ran last night seemed to be into the wind
It was fucking cold
