I used to run a lot but quit due to lack of motivation, apathy and depression (ironic, right? Since running is known to be the best anti-depressant) . I'm not good with keeping goals and sticking with them, especially when it comes to physical health.

I want to start again and ease into the smaller 5k races then gradually work towards a marathon someday. Any advice on how to get started, best practices and holding accountability for myself so I follow through?
