Good tips! I'm at the point where I need to take it up a notch. My head holds me back a lot of times, but I'm committed to keeping at it!

 I realized that myself this week as well.  I've become too complacent setting the treadmill at my standard speed and regular intervals.  I kicked it way up a notch or two today and I feel great because of it.

I have that whole "I can never..." mentality when it comes to certain things... well, I figured try - and if I can't then I scale it back a notch and try again.  I surprised myself.

Paul, that is one of my goals to try after I lose my extra body :) I have never been normal weight, but always wanted to be a runner. I can't wait to actually make that a reality soon. I will have surgery in September- so by spring, I should be starting a program. You are an inspiration!!

 I substituted "walking" for "running" and it made perfect sense. 

I don't want to run--good thing, too, since my knees have basically turned to chalk dust--but I do want some of those day-glo shoes the runners wore in the Olympic Trials (held right here in my home town). Shoes don't have to be the same color! I love those shoes. Probably they're mad expensive, and engineered for skinny running, not fat walking. Sooo pretty, tho...

Before I stop rambling, I'll say that I'd like a complete set of runner muscles as well.

Terrific article!

I see so many posts about losing the last 20 lbs or bodies not shaping up the way they thought or want -- running will do both.

My motto: "Running Changes Lives" - and it's not physical changes either.

This is, of course, assuming there are no physical limitations : )

I really enjoyed your post...I wish that we had a LIKE button on here.
