    I did 3miles outside this morning and am aiming for 4 miles on Friday.
    I did manage to shave a little over two minutes off of my 5k time from my first race two weeks ago to the one I did on Saturday :wink: A group of about 7 of us from work ran it and I managed to outrun all of my co-workers, i think it got away with the guys, haha.

    Wow, you guys are amazing. I love to run but can't seem to improve my endurance. The most I've run on a regular basis is 3 miles and that was years ago. My daughter comes home from college tomorrow and she wants me to start running with her.

    My biggest issue is breathing. I get so out of breath I can't keep running. My legs want to keep going but I can't because I'm breathing to hard and it hurts. :grumble:

    Any of you have any suggestions for me? I've heard there are some breathing excercises or techniques but haven't a clue.

    Keep up your greatness everyone. I am very inspired.

    Many Blessings,
    Nita

    I would slow down your running a bit. Try doing a run/ walk. When you feel so out of breath, take a walk break (1-2 min). Then run again. You will eventually build up endurance. There are lots of programs at runnersworld.com that help get you running longer distances. Good luck!

    Hi Jess - Thanks for the tip, I"ll check out the website too. I'm setting small goals to see if I can overcome the breathing problem.

    Thanks for the encouragement. You guys are great!
