Those are some nice tips!

If anyone here is looking to start running as part of a New Year goal, I'd suggest not getting too discouraged with all of the stuff that seems complicated about running. It takes a while to get your body used to it.

When I was 17, I made it a goal to try and run a mile without stopping at the track. Once I hit that goal, I stopped because I thought other people were judging me. It took me ten more years to go for another run, but by that point I'd stopped caring as much about what other people thought. Now I've made it a habit, and enjoy all aspects of the sport.
