After 15 minutes all I can focus on is how uncomfortable I am and I am ready to climb the walls.

that's why cardio is hard for me. I don't know if I should but I've started breaking it up into 10 min. intervals. I'll do 10 on the treadmill then upper body strength training; 10 min. on the TM then lower body; 10 min. again then abs.
For a long time, I've heard people talk about how good they feel after working out and I just couldn't follow that but since I've started doing the above plus using the stretching thingy the gym has, I see what they mean!
