How I did it: I've always wanted to run, but could never make it very far. I was told that I run too fast, so I slowed it down and took it at my own pace and made it two miles my first try.

Lessons & tips:

• Go as slow as you need to go.
• Keep running through the pain. You'll be alright!
• It does get easier.
• Think of how great you're going to feel when you're done.
