Went for my first run yesterday since becoming so ill. It felt great!!
My fabulous running partner came with me. We ran 12 minutes and walked 2 minutes, then ran another 12 minutes home.
My lungs felt great and I could have kept going.
It is important for me to start slow again. This way I end the run with a positive feeling. This will increase my chances of wanting to go again :)
Cheryl and I have also set a goal. We are going to do a 5km local run in September. We know we can do that and it will be a great motivator to keep going.
We are also going to try for a 10km run in the spring. This will help keep us motivated over the winter. Once that is accomplished it will be half/full marathon training time.
So set goals for yourself to stay motivated!!
These are mine...
1)Imediate goals.... A goal of getting out the door twice a week
2)Short Term Goals....a local run/walk in a few months
3)Long Term Goals....a goal of a marathon or something in a year or two.

hello, my name is Amie. I'm old friends with Erin Sauve. She told me to check out your site. I've enjoyed reading it. I wish I could have been more educated about my body whe I had my two kids. 2 years later I'm finally figuring it out and losing the weight. I wish I had known that exercise would have made me feel better, but since I had never done exercise before in my life I had no idea. Anyways, long story short, I appreciate hearing your tips and personal struggles and victories. All the best as you train. I've just recently started to jog. I have been walking long distance for a long time, but thought jogging would give a new challenge. I've been surprised by my body and what it can do. I'm probably pushing myself too much, but I find my body and I usually figure these things out eventually.
thanks againg
amie
