With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

Anyway, I've been walking pretty regular for about a year now. I usually walk a mile in about 15 minutes. Starting Monday I'm on the run. I'm kind of anxious though. I have this fear that I'm gonna keel over from a heart attack. So if no one hears from me after Monday donations can be made to the American Heart Association. Wish me luck. BTW this has been a long term goal for me since last March.

Obviously your fitness level has improved that you do want to start running and I am also sure your body will tell you when to stop pushing hard (but that doesn't mean you will croak over !!) So enjoy your run ,again happy birthday and here is to many more good years of feeling healthy and fit ! -------------- "If you are going to walk on thin ice you might as well dance" angelsnow@freetrainers.com

Came in about 13:30. Felt real good except for my pounding heart, bursting lungs, and tight legs. That is the first time I have ran in 17 years! (My neighbors, if they saw me, probably thought someone with a gun was chasing me LOL)I must have looked mighty funny. Felt like I had boots on. I'm definately going to have to work on my stride, technique, etc.

Let your endurance build a bit with each session, before you know it you will be out running trying to beat record times. Remember, you are in this for the long haul. Again many high 5's to you. Successes are cool. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
