| I ran 2 miles for the first time today!
I don't think I've every run that far in my entire life. Was it painful? Yes. Do I have a long way to go to hit my 5 mile goal? Yes.
Nevertheless, I couldn't have fathomed doing this at my heaviest. Fuggedaboutit. We'll have to wait and see how sore my knees/joints/muscles are tomorrow.

Congratulations! Keep at this running, IMHO it works better than anything else at
cutting fat. It works so well because it isn't easy. After the first month or so you'll
actually look forward to running.
As for your goal of 5 miles, I'm not sure if that's the most important thing. Consistency is - 2 to 3 miles at least 3 to 4 times a week. That's my routine. I know everybody's different and nothing works the same for everybody but you can't go wrong with that plan, that is as long as you don't develop actual leg problems other than just fatique and soreness. And if you do get that, just skip a day or so to let them recover.
If you're not yet doing any weight lifting strongly consider doing that as well.

Nice job! That's probably the max I could run right now.  My joints/knees don't like running. I wish I could do it more often.

That's great!
Do you have a goal to do a 5 mile run for a competition or something?
