Hey FORREST..... I took a baby step!
I went to the HP to watch the girls bball campers. I took my "running" shoes. I watched my best friend's daughter play. Her mom left. I stayed and meandered over to the treadmill and said "Self.... HERE is a STARTING place." It is airconditioned. You can watch and CONTROL the speed. I know it is not quite like being on the great outdoors roads, BUT IT IS A START! Just do 20 minutes and do some different intervals. 5 walk ~ 1 run...... come on.... you can always slow back down. Well.... I did not jog/wog much..... but I did some. I did several walk 3 run 1, then even a run 2! Ended up hanging in for 45 min! Better than nothin'! It is a start! OH YEAH... I remembered to breathe too! That's the other thing about me and running.... I hold my breath! I always have! I ran track in high school. My coach was afraid to let me run more than 100 yd dash. He always stood on the side lines yelling for me to BREATHE! All the other coaches yelled "Run.... RUN!"
Well..... guess I'll shower and call it a day!
I am a marathoner!

Isn't funny what we can accomplish if we just try? I knew you could do. Just keep it up!

Good job, Lisa! Way to go!
Starting intervals on the treadmill is a fine way to do it. If you can already run a whole minute, you're farther along than when I first started running because I started only running 15 seconds, I think and then moved up to 30 seconds and on from there!
Yeah for you Lisa. You go girl!
Wow Lisa, that's WAY better than nothing! "The beginning is the chiefest part of any work." (Plato)
