<human>: Hi, I want to start running to lose a bit of weight and get into shape. The  problem is, I have mild [PVD] in my right leg. This causes severe pain when I run for more than 3 minutes straight. It used to be way worse when I was a smoker but I haven't smoked cigarettes for almost a year already. I'm looking to take it further and get into shape. I'm 23 years old, 5'7" and 170lbs. I just want to know if running is still viable for me and if the pain will go away with training. I have no problems with getting winded, it's just that the pain in my leg is too intense to keep running when I try.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: Have PVD, wanna know if running is a viable form of exercise and if the pain will go away if I keep running.
