Running

I really like to run, but I didn't use to. I ran track (very slowly) in high school, and then quit running completely until my senior year in college. I just picked it up last and used a really simple training program to start running. After my first 5K, I was hooked! I haven't looked back since. I truly believe anyone can be a runner-- it's a great habit!
