I ran about 4 days per week for about 6 months before falling off the wagon. Only did 2 miles per day, was working up to 3 when I quit. I am planning on getting back into it after the Holidays. I ran at a leisurely pace, 8 minute miles or so. I personally found the following:

1) The first mile always sucks, no matter how long you have been running.
2) After that you settle in and it becomes a tolerable experience which gets exponentially easier with time.
3) I began to find myself feeling much better about myself and having less stress.
4) It is a great time to clear your head and just consider your day, etc. Relaxing.

Now then, having said all that I have never been a big exerciser and personally find it hard to get going on a program. Once I got going I found it to be more beneficial than I thought.
