Yes, take it slow. You don't want to get all sore and cramped and have to wait a long time to recover.
I have a love-hate relationship with it. A lot of times, I want to die. But if I'm busy and have to skip a few days, I feel....fat, lol. Also, working that hard for at least 30 mins helps me sleep a lot better.
I ran REALLY hard last night and was surprised I lasted as long as I did since it's so hot (no AC). For me the key is heavy distraction. I have the TV on to something I don't really need to hear (re-runs or reality TV shows) and also listen to music on my headphones at the highest volume, stuff that really keeps me pumped. I also have a tendency to daydream. The more I focus on working out, the harder it is to keep going!
