If you read my blog regularly, you know that I think running is absolutely amazing for you physically, mentally, and even spiritually. It's a wonderful antidote to growing older. My philosophy has always been that, despite my aging, running is a gift from God and far better than merely hanging out on the couch. The same is true for walking. Here is how I spent my day.
And here are the results.
Start where you are. And for God's sake don't compare yourself to others. Just because some people you know run marathons and ultras doesn't mean you have to shoot for those goals. This is YOUR journey. Do what is right for you. Which might mean taking baby steps. My mantra is,"Do what you can, when you can." Run or walk at a relaxed, comfortable pace and enjoy the experience. This will increase your motivation for the next run or walk!
