How to run 5 miles
It made me
Happy 
"Good, it shows that small steps over time can lead to big gains"
How I did it: I started off running for 10 minutes, then each time I ran after that, I'd add 1 minute to the run. By accomplishing each run, I knew in my head that my body was capable of at least running the previous time, and jogging for 60 seconds more wouldn't be too hard.
I tried to run everyday, but of course that didn't work, but I think it helped knowing that I was progessively getting more distance with each run, which made it easier to get going again after a few days of not running.
Lessons & tips: Set for yourself small achievable goals and then build upon it.
Resources: runstoppable.com helped me keep track of my distance and time, it also calculated my pace. It's really great because it's linked to google maps and if you have an RSS feed setup, you can have it send your run entries so that you and others can keep track of your progress.
