I started in June by buying a pair of running shoes, worked my way up to 5 kms by September. All October I packed on the kms and by November 12th I did my first 10 km race. I finished at 1:10; I could have done better but I got killer shin splints along the way, and walked a km or so. For about a month afterwards, I found it difficult to walk. I likely did too much too fast, but it was so worth it. I am taking a breather to give myself some healing. But I will be back at it soon.

Good Luck. Give’ er!
