Hi all, my 1st post 
I decided 2008 was the year i sort myself out, and i have started running.
recently its getting now that i can push myself much harder than i could, mostly because my breathing is much better now than it was.
(my 1st run i managed 400 yards on newyears day before having to have a breather, my run now, whilst still not impressive is 2 miles in 20 mins without stopping of which includes a rather large hill, i hope to have this up to 5 miles by xmas).
However
last friday, by the end of my run i noticed i had pins and needles in my fingers, felt very faint and had <very slight> chest pains.
i recovered quickly after my run - much faster than when i started running, and felt very good, and have not had the chest pains since, however am wondering if i am pushing myself too hard, or is this just normal?
the thing is, i am hardly what you would call fit, weighing in at 18st 10lbs (down from 21 st 12lbs at xmas) and a mild athsmatic.
am only 32 however so in theory i would hope i am not in heart attackville just yet.
any thoughts?
cheers and thanks for reading
