how to run?

Back when I could, I used to love running... when I say 'running' I really mean basically hurling myself tumbling down the street huffing and puffing and then contorting myself into stretches to relieve the stitch at every few lamp-posts, walking past a few houses, then picking it up again.  I SUCKED at it so much but loved it anyway!!  You can't go wrong so long as you warm up well, stretch afterwards, don't keep going after an injury, wear good running shoes, and push yourself enough to get a decent workout but not so much that it's days before you can exercise again.  If you used to be a sprinter, you'll probably take to it really quickly, won't you?  Have a blast... I'm jealous and wish I could be out there beating the streets too! 

I don't know if this is suitable for you, but I find exercise in the mornings is hugely uplifting... providing you have some sort of brekkie before you leave.

With my hockey training (ha! many years ago now ) I used to go to the redwoods and run the shortest track, started out by walking half of it and then gradually working up to running the whole thing... then I started on the next longer track. I loved running those tracks because once you start you are pretty screwed and have to keep going! hehe

Well here's hoping the exercise makes your sleep more valuable... I know I was a heck of a lot less tired when I was fit. Not any more!

Good on ya!!! that's excellent.

Brilliant@!!!!! I wish I had your "eagerness". I should start doing something to move these last few kilos (then I might actually have some clothes to wear)
At the moment I would run for 2 minutes and die of an asthma attack in this neighbourhood!

I've decided to go to an aerobics class once a week - more for the getting away from the kids cause am going crazy at home and with them 24/7, but figured that exercise stuff might be good too.
