Is anyone here a runner or was a runner or wants to become a runner? I am going to do a 10k on March 29th. I can walk or run, but I'd rather mostly run. Can I train in the next 3 months and be able to do that? I don't want to win or anything, I just want to say that I did it and get the t-shirt I've never run before in my life, but I do cardio workouts 4-6 days a week. I usually just walk, but want to incorporate jogging/running. I've never been able to run before due to large breasts (had the breast reduction in 2002), and now I think I'm at a weight where I won't be too jiggly. Thanks for any info, advice or comments...

Good luck Brynda! You'll probably be much more comfortable since you're breast reduction.

Hi Brynda, The Runner's World web site has loads of information for training and getting started (http://www.runnersworld.com). I found it incredibly useful and for someone who couldn't run for more than about 30 seconds at a time, I can now run for 2-3 miles without walking breaks. Don't get discouraged if you find jogging (even at a very slow pace) difficult to do without walking breaks for the first few weeks. I couldn't believe how hard it was (I can do any other cardio exercise, so why was jogging so tough?) and thought I was out of shape and pathetic. Most people have to start by doing running/walking training, and it takes a bit of patience. Believe me, you'll feel like a million bucks when you run your first mile non-stop! Best of luck to you and keep us posted. Cheers, Petal "Brynda" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > Is anyone here a runner or was a runner or wants to become a runner?
