    MLEMONROE that is awesome that you started running! I can totally relate, I despised running in high school--when they said run 1 mile I cringed!! Now I love it! You get the runner's high! I started last summer when our local Ymca started a running group to train for the local running event here. I ran 2 mile races last year (did about 5 of them) and I did do a 5K by the end of the summer. Didn't run much in winter so now building up again. Just finished a 2 mile race this past weekend, and I beat my time from the same race last year almost 3 minutes! I have finished the Insanity program recently. I contribute that to little more speed! Keep it up! I will "friend" you on here also! Thanks for sharing.

    Good job. I ran 6 miles a day for about 20 years then torn cartilage in the knee playing volleyball. Doctor said stop running and stupid me listened. I always enjoyed running and really missed it. So 25 year later (age 64) I am starting to run again. I currently walk about an hour a day. The return is tough though so I am running and walking at this point. Plan on 5K by Labor day or sooner.
