Running is not my favorite....I completed my first half in Feb. I made sure I got fitted for shoes since I was having some knee and hip pain. It all went away after I got the shoes. Then just work up to running more and more. I didn't run the whole thing, but I still felt like I accomplished something great. Now I really…
