I just ran 1.75 miles the other day. I’m over half-way towards my goal!

You know, I’ve been doing this the complete wrong way: no warm-ups because I want to get straight to the business (or otherwise I wouldn’t do it at all). Also, I start fast and then slow down when I’m out of breath, which is the exact opposite of what you should do, but one of the reasons why I actually feel like going for a run at all is that in the beginning I feel like I’m flying. So I have to do this my way; I can learn about the more effective techniques later, when I’ve developed some confidence in the fact that I can run and I can have fun doing it.
