I still want to push out of my comfort zone yet a little more and start running again..... help I need somewhere to start.
My advice: just start. Find a place to run, and go running. It could be around your neighborhood, a park, local roads, whatever.

I ran 10k today (in my five fingers sprints without socks, feet are not happy at the widest part where they overrun the seams of the shoe/liner) as a part of an olympic distance tri, I am embarrassed to say this is the farthest I've ran since my Ironman. I remember thinking last year, I should really train a little more for this race (as in, I should train for this race at all). I had the same thought this year. It's a hilly bike, and the run just feels longer than it should when you've only been racing 5ks. I finished the run in 0:59:23, which is okay (last year was 1:02:57, so I did drop 3:30), but I need to step it up a little more. The last mile was pretty tough, and 2 women in my AG passed me (though they complimented my bike time ). I'll put up a real report tomorrow.

I'm really hoping to get more running time in this week.
