New runner

So I don't get to wrk out often b/c my 1 yr old thinks I want to play dog pile! LOL! I go walking when I can and its great for us both. This wk though my 12yr old watched the 1yr old so I could walk and decided to run. Just started out of the blue- didn't do much and my muscles would prefer none but I feel so good afterwards! When I move my muscles sadly protest but Im smiling b/c I am pushing myself! I know that every time I get on here and I see not only the success stories but the ones who are sore and having a hard time but pushing through-I know I wouldn't be trying if I didn't read those stories! Motivation- yes this site gives us that through every ones personal experience but it is so much more then that word says. I hope that the relationship with my running shoes continues and builds! Thanks!
