    Thanks Everyone!

    Laurenw - actually, it was not from working my way up to running! I love Zumba so I take several hour long classes a week on top of a hour long spinning class or two. Both of these classes helped build my endurance that I needed in order to be able to run for a long period of time. The last time I tried to run, I only made it to 2 miles which was a few weeks ago. Today that 3.2 miles was surprisingly easy! I know this may not work for everyone but it has really helped me.
