howwwwwwww x.x
it was always so much harder for me to run for time (on anything longer than a mile) without a lighter pair. the spikes themselves helped too, of course, but just the weight of those trainers... gah.
on topic: I've been a couch potato for months, but I wanna try to get back into it soon, perhaps with the help of this thread as a reminder.
I'm in agreement with those who have said it's best not to worry much about pace at first. for me, there's such a huge difference in my comfort level and stamina between my first week or two starting out versus the entire time afterward. I don't bother at all with really pushing myself until I've gotten those first dozen+ miles in.
personally, I haven't found ice treatment to be necessary unless I'm putting in competitive-level work, which I last did years ago. might not be the same for everyone, though.
