Pretty much this. If you've got some extra weight on, long slow distance (LSD) running is going to be the hard road. I would highly recommend swimming or other low impact, high cardio type work. If you're set on running, make sure you've got a kick ass pair of shoes and you're stretching properly after (not before).
And "manning up" is a horrible horrible idea if your spine is involved.
