    This is great inspiration. I've always wanted to be a runner. I have asthma so it has been a real challenge. I love reading these threads!

    You can TOTALLY DO IT! Remember to use your inhaler!
    I cannot run outside or I definitely would have an asthma attack due to how cold it is outside but running on the treadmill is really different. I set small goals and push toward them :)
    Feel free to add me!

    You're doing great. I would suggest that you not add any distance for the next two weeks, and just concentrate on running your two miles at least 3 times a week. In about two weeks, increase your distance and perhaps even your pace - you will see that those two weeks were crucial to building both strength and endurance.

    Hi - I use an an app called 5K Runner on my ipod. I listen to Podrunner tracks so I can't hear my breathing/footsteps. I run to tracks that are 130 bpm, which Podrunner often dishearteningly labels as 'Podwalking'. Better slow and steady than too fast and giving up. I can run 20 mins non-stop in week 5. Too impressed with myself
