Goals are great, but goals with a method by which to reach them? Priceless. Congratulations! Goals are great, but goals with a method by which to reach them? Priceless.

Getting started is the hardest part for sure so now that you've overcome that obstacle there's so much you can do! Eventually, once you're up for it, I would suggest googling for some C25K podcasts; I know there are some out there from some DJs who put together a downloadable track that goes along with the plan, all with varying BPMs. Congrats!!

Joan: I found a lot of inspiration on Facebook. I posted status updates about my runs (and then RunKeeper posted them for me). A lot of my running and non-running friends posted encouragements and things like "I wish I could do that" and those kinds of things. I also joined a few running-oriented fan pages (C25K, Active.com, etc.) and they post links, quotes, and discussions that help as well. The one thing that I found that helps the most is simply to NOT QUIT. Atticus: I know we've been following the same path for a while. Kinda fun... Kristen: Keep it up! Yesterday I went and played golf and walked 9 holes for the first time instead of riding in a cart. It wore me out. But when I got home, I wanted to go run anyway. I just couldn't, so I walked a mile instead. Totally not the me who was me a year ago! Thank all of you for your comments.

I actually just started running in January, too, and have gotten so that I feel yucky if I miss a few days! It's amazing how our lives can change with such a simple thing. Good luck with your next one! Congrats on your 5k! I actually just started running in January, too, and have gotten so that I feel yucky if I miss a few days!

We must be on a similar wave length because I am in the middle of an article on running myself. I am nowhere near as far along the fitness path as yourself but I can see a lot of my experiences mirrored in your article. Thanks for the inspiring read :) Mate, Excellent article!
