It sounds like you: May be deconditioned. Encourage you to have a thorough evaluation by your physician if you have been maintaining a sedentary lifestyle. Most people become conditioned over time.

Probably: At 42 years old, it is most likely that you are just "out of shape." there are risk factors that would increase the possibility that you have impaired blood flow to your legs, that could cause what is called claudication. Is your blood pressure high, do you have diabetes, is your cholesterol okay? Having said all of that, even though we think of 42 as young, you should have an evaluation.
