    I had been doing Leslie Sansone walking videos for a couple months and went to the track near my house and did a mile without having to take a break. Who needs couch25k? And I am very overweight, still got 60 pounds to go and am OLD! (gasp!). I did run very old lady like and have since worked on my stride but it was pretty effortless. Mowing the yard with my push engineless mower is much more of a workout!

    You can do this. Just start real slow and see how far you can get. The first half mile didn't feel so great but after the half mile the rest was easy. Could have gone farther but my old hound was starting to feel it so quit. Walked another couple miles after that and he was limping on the way home. We both need to get out there more often. Will try on Saturday again, see if I can do 2 miles this time. I have been walking/jogging (inside) when my daughter attends night class so should be pretty doable.

    Just get out there, jog the first part and walk back. Since you can do JM (I can't do alot of her stuff....I jog in place while she's phoning it in) the event for you should be pretty effortless.
