First Steps

So, my first run didn't kill me. I didn't feel like my entire body was going to fall apart or that my lungs were on fire. My neck, ears, feet and shins all felt fine (those were the body parts that just couldn't take running in the past). In fact, at the end of my run, I felt like it was something I'd consider doing again someday. I read that running every other day is ideal, to give your body a day of repair. This works well, because I think that's a much more reasonable goal to set for myself. 30 minutes of running, every other day. That's the goal.
