    YAHOOOOOOO!! Way to go!

    I've been returning to running after a (*ahem*) 20-year layoff, and I can relate to your excitement! Good job!

    Great job girl!! How did you work up to it? I must know!

    i started by running quarter of a mile and walking 3/4 of a mile and alternating until i hit 3 miles...then half a mile running/half walking...then 3/4 running/ 1/4 walking... then just worked up total miles from there! lots of willpower...and an awesome running playlist lol
