Betty,
Thanks for being so inspirational about running. Today I finally bought a pair of REAL running shoes. I have been doing interval training, moving up from running for 30 secs at a time, to 5 mins at a time, repeat...). Today, I ran for 20 minutes straight! I am 41, and have NEVER ran until this summer. I signed up for a 5K on Nov. 9th. Thanks for being my inspiration.

And thanks to everyone for all the kind words, support and encouragement. I am so happy I can come here and share the good and the bad.

YOU ARE ALL AWESOME!

Congratulations to you

It's that first step that lots of people won't take and you did it. Keep up your training schedule and you'll do fine in your first 5K. You're 41 -- I'm 63 and I didn't do my first marathon until I was 55.

Congratulations!

When it comes closer to race time, come back and get some race tips...
I wish I had listened when I was told don't try and keep up with the pack. I was exhausted after 2 minutes! Made for a not so pretty run.
