Hello,

I started running on 1/5/04. I HATED IT. Why did i hate it so much for so many years? Because I got tired and winded fast. But man.. now that I am have been doing it for 8 days, I am starting to like it! I am actually looking forward to waking up early!

The first day i could barely run 2 Min w/out loosing my breath and being tired. Over the last week I have gotten myself from 2 Min to a full Mile run. I think thats a HUGE accomplishment for me. I went out and got myself a great pair of shoes (New Balance 2001's) which are great and really cussion and support your feet.

I set a goal today to run a 3K fun run/race which is about 3.1 miles. I want to do with with in 3 months. I am hoping I can accomplish this. I dont see it being a real problem as long as I stick to my routeen (which is running 4 times a week) I hope to run 5 times a week soon but my muscles need time to recover.

Any tips from runners / joggers out there? and what do you think of my progress so far?

P.S. You can view my progress in my Journel or on my website in the links in my signature.
Thanks guys!
