Wah, I am in a bad shape, a really bad shape! That I confirmed with the morning run, 31 minutes and a few seconds on top. Two minutes into the run and I was itchy all over, so itchy and scratchy-feely that I was tempted to sit me down and scratch my legs and thighs silly! But I didn't - I just ran on...
Anyway, I took Jack's advise seriously: Start this week with an easy 30min run, every day and rest for just two days in a week. So I did an easy 31 min: 15 minutes, then 5 minutes of stretching and 16 minutes back. Tosha.
Waking up was not the easiest of things considering the fact that I turned in late, about 12.15am, but I did manage to leave the house by 5.43am, walked 12 minutes, then took off. Went quite well ... met about 18 runners among them Jaymo.
Good enough for day 1. Now where to get those weighing machines... I need to know if am still 96kgs ...
PS.
I am working on two fronts: a) Lose weight, a lot of it; b) Figure out the ways and means of doing 21km in under 2hours...

Good start. For greater/faster weight loss, consider doing the 30 mins in the morning then walking home in the evening. Be friends with water. You have to start carrying fruits (or you can be dashing out for that fruit salad) with you to avoid high-calorie foods.

Stay the hell away from injuries by following the tips in that link.
So long as you can run (irrespective of you speed) for 2.5 hours, you can go under 2 hours on race day.
