10. I think that's what I did -- I cracked it.

I started running when I was 50 (53 this year). I agree this jump from 3 to 5 has been hard. I'm feeling a little better about it now. I will still try your suggestion -- I may need to just focus more on my breathing and see if that doesn't help.

Some days my tailbone hurts like a mother. I'm taking Aleve for it when the pain gets too intense and that helps. I do sit in a rather cushioned chair at work and at home (I'm a little like Archie Bunker when it comes to "my chair" at home -- if someone's in it, they know to move), but some days it aches like a bad tooth.
