I've been running for years...I started walking and became BORED outta my MIND! That's why I started running - it was more exciting. The easiest way to start is walk, jog, walk, jog! Go so slow at first that it seems pointless to actually run...then start jogging a bit in-between the boredom of walking. For me, at first it's always about distance - speed is pointless to concentrate on. Have fun with it...use an mp3, ipod, etc and listen to your favorite music...enjoy yourself! Passion, anger and excitement are fuel to run <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">!!! Play on that too! I've run all different places across the country (vacations, races-marathon, 1/2 marathon, 10miles, 10k's .....blah, blah, blah) - enjoy the scenery!!!! Have fun and feel great <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. Message me anytime!!!! Hugs!\
