Run Runaway

[geekchick]

I've been thinking about this for a while, and now that the weather's starting to warm up and there's some actual sunlight left when I get home in the evenings (most nights), I think I'm going to attempt the Couch-to-5K program. High school gym class put me off running in a huge way, but I might be able to do this. Would be nice to get back into some sort of decent physical shape again. Things I need to check into: whether my existing shoes will be sufficient for running (I really do not want to spend a bunch of money on new running shoes if I don't have to), and a really good sports bra.

Go you! I know at least one other person who had success with that program. Even if you don't keep running as a hobby, it's great to know you could if you wanted to. Truly, if your shoes are more than a year old, treat yourself to a new pair and wear them only for running.

Yay! A friend of mine did the couch-to-5k thing last spring, and loved it! I've been thinking of trying it myself shortly, but alas, the excuses are really piling up!

Excellent idea. I may just join you. Why will be evident shortly.

That looks like a good program - slow and gradual is the way to go.

I second Title 9 sports bras. Especially look for Enell or "the bra of last resort" - I have 2 and when I'm in I don't MOVE!
