I took up running last year after never having even run to the mailbox in all the prior years.
I went from no running ever to running for fun. I do the occasional 5k and 10k and plan on training for my first Half (13.1 miles) which takes place in October.
For me, it’s all about the camaraderie. I train with others that I met through the running programs, and we don’t try to break any records, we just have fun. No injuries so far, but like I said, we do it for fun so we aren’t going that fast lol.
did not work out so well for the very very very first marathon runner ...
