I used to run but got out of practice when I was traveling for work. I tried again a couple of years ago and ended up with a really good stress fracture. I do want to try again as I really miss it.

There is a really good book that I like that starts you out very very slowly so you won't end up with things like stress fractures. It is called The Beginning Runner's Handbook by Ian McNeill and the Sport Medicine Council of British Columbia. The book guilds you to running over a 13 week period. You might want to check it out.
