I've always thought I...That's so inspiring! I've always thought I could never, ever run despite the fact that I've worked out 5 days a week at my gym for years. Every time I'd try, I'd start wheezing and I was convinced my body wasn't made for it.<br /><br />But in December, inspired by a few runner/bloggers, I decided that I wouldn't just sit back and accept that I couldn't run. So I started a training program that a friend sent me. It sounds similar to yours, but I'm taking it way more slowly...actually devoting several weeks to each step. Right now, I'm on the step where I run 7 minutes and walk for 3 — over and over — for 30 minutes. That's more than I ever imagined I could do. <br /><br />I have a goal of running a 5K this year (and by running, I mean running part of it and walking part of it). Judging from your story, I can tell that actually meeting that goal will feel awesome.<br /><br />Congrats to you on achieving an awesome goal!
