How to run 15 miles
It made me
accomplished! 
"There is nothing like the feeling you get when you continuously run a certain distance. (In this case, 1.5 miles.)"
How I did it: I used the "Couch-to-5K" plan. First I started by alternating 1 minute of running and 1.5 minutes of walking. Week-by-week I increased my intervals and slowly started running more than walking. Although the plan is for 9-weeks, I took it slowly and sometimes stayed on one week of the plan for two weeks. I also got sick one of those weeks and was busy another week.
Lessons & tips:
Find a running partner: Encouragement, company, and motivation all packed into one
Run slower than you think you should: You don't want burn out two weeks into your work.
Run every-other day: Having a day in between runs really helps muscles heal.
Have fun.
