I myself went from "Couch to Runner" just 4 years ago at the age of 40 and I haven't looked back since :) The nice thing about the running is it's the type of activity you can take with you from post-to-post.

My only advice for you coming from someone who started running less than a year ago is to do the following: don't overdo it, and be consistent and ruthless with your exercise schedule. Motivation was really hard for me at the beginning but it pays off. Good luck and have fun!An Economisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312445510838174906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31417199.post-85220759067433854242010-04-13T01:19:13.042-04:002010-04-13T01:19:13.042-04:00You should try to c25k program!

It's not exactly an FS blog, but a <i>former</i> FS blog. I've been writing it since 2004, when I retired from State.<br /><br />While in State, I tried pushing the idea of blogs in the face of great resistance. As a way to communicate to local audiences--or arguably more important, to taxpayers--there's not much better.<br /><br />The problem is control. Those at the top of (or even midway up) aren't at all comfortable with the idea that an underling might get a message out before it's been properly massaged. The quickest career killer, after all, is not an international incident, but causing your boss to end up with flaming red cheeks.<br /><br />I heartily support your choice to keep blogging. Just be smart while doing it.John Burgesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11979918255430186425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31417199.post-75872441698723445172010-04-12T12:34:35.275-04:002010-04-12T12:34:35.275-04:00Best way to get inspired to run is to sign up for ...Best way to get inspired to run is to sign up for a race. The urge to not die at that race serves as a great motivator to get out there and increase your stamina little by little.

And will take your word for it. :)<br /><br />Okay, seriously: I have wicked bad knees. And I don't like pain. So running and I wouldn't really get along.
