Back in shape

I ran/jogged 60 minutes and walked 15 minutes. It took a month for me to get back to this point. I throughly enjoyed the run. To begin with my legs weren't holding up and they were getting very tired after ten minutes of running. Now I'm not having a problem. I'm alternating jogging and running in hopes of increasing my speed.
This is year 4 of running. I had planned to think about running a marathon by age 65, but I have changed my mind. The period of time that I ran 2+ hours at a time I believe it drove my immune system down and I had to make several trips to a doctor with everything from a boil to a nasty case of shingles. One hour may be my limit. I need to plan to run a 10K, but I'm chicken.
