YAY! It’s awesome that you’re changing your lifestyle for the better. Putting on a pair of running shoes 6 years ago was one of the best decisions of my life! I have gained so much joy and friendship from running, I hope it works out for you too!

The biggest piece of advice I would have is: Don’t get discouraged! Keep moving. Running is simple, but it can be really really hard, and that’s why it is so great. Everyone who is a fast runner was a slow runner once, and it is the slow runners who work their butts off that really inspire me, I don’t care about the fast runners so much (or at least I try not to!)

Also, I don’t know where your favorite running place is, but I really enjoy running on trails through woods. If you’re currently running on the streets, I highly recommend you try trail running a little bit.

Have fun!
