LOVE the “Go in the morning” advice, that’s a great way to start the day, and a habit I’m working on getting back into. Thanks for the website.

good article. planning the route is the best point for me. being aimless takes away from the run. the goal makes you keep going.

It is easy to see how running could be viewed as a chore! The article points out excellent ways to lessen the load, I think running with a partner is also key to keeping a routine!

I’ve never run myself, I’ve always worried about doing it safely — but I’ve always wanted to give it a try.
Devan | Jun 24, 2008 | Reply
I find running a challenge also but really need to do it to get in shape. I’m starting out with walking first then will do intervals of walking, jogging, and running.
Carmen | Jun 24, 2008 | Reply
I just started running…it’s been hard but I find that by increasing the time by one minute every day makes it easier.
