Same. When I started running 5 years ago, I started with under 1km runs. Slowly built up to 5km runs over a 3 or so years. The hardest bit is getting out bed, once that habit is in the rest is easy.

I also found that not timing myself worked really well. Too many times I would finish a run feeling good, check my time and then feel bad that I didn't beat my pb. Stopped that and every run was positive.
