I've never been able to run, ever. I either get winded, end up with side stitches or excruciating shin splints. I feel it would be extremely rewarding to make my goal this summer to learn to run! So here I am! I downloaded a pretty neat app on my iphone which tracks my progress - its a couch potato to 5K running program that takes 9 weeks. Apparently, in 9 weeks I'm going to be able to run for 30 minutes without stopping (or 5K equivalent depending on my running speed). Currently, I don't even think I'd make it to 5 minutes. I just finished Week One, Day Two last night. If anyone is interested, you can view the program Here!
Can a smoker learn to run for 30 minutes, when they have never accomplished this goal even before they took up smoking? Stay tuned for further progress...
