I have been walking about 2 miles each afternoon. Today i got off work at noon and wanted to stretch it to 3 miles, so i walked another route. Then this eveining, i felt energetic so i decided to go for another walk. About 3/4 mile into the walk i decided to try jogging. I tried a few weeks ago and i was too heavy. i felt like my weight was pounding my knees. This evening, i wasnt worried about what it looked like {because it was dark} and i started to jog, not too fast, but steady. I jogged about 1 lap of a track {400 yards or so} and then walked a little. I started up again and jogged a couple hundred more yards. Not a marathon, but i was elated. The last time i was able to jog was 1997 I think.
I am goingf to keep doing this until i can go longer distances. Awesome !!!

Awesome job! You may want to look into the C25K program or if you have a smartphone they have apps for it.

Everyone starts someplace and many of us started where you are now and have gone farther than we ever believed.

Keep up the good work.
