It has been almost three months since I started running. When I started I could only run about one minute. I would run one minute and walk 5 until I gradually added more time. I am happy to report that I am now running 30 minutes per day and running over two miles per day. I hope to be running three miles per day six days per week by summer.
I have learned that if I take small baby steps with life, big things can happen. Three months ago I never would have thought I could run over two miles, but now here I am doing it.
I have a long way to go with getting to the fitness level I want to be at but I am going the right direction and that is what really matters.
Running is defining me in many ways. I am currently facing some hard times with some people I love deeply in my life. Running helps me find some sort of peace with it all. Running helps me deal with the grief I have for the loss of my sweet mother. Running works, it is some sort of magical thing in my life I can't really explain how it is saving me but it is.
If you are dealing with hard things, run, you will get better faster...maybe we "run" to our solution in the end. Interesting idea.

You and your running are such an inspiration to me. It's something I used to love, something I had forgotten I loved until you reminded me of it a few months ago. THANK YOU!!!
