Way to go Kristy !!! Set obtainable goals and don't over do it because your don't want to get injured --- Been there !!! When I wanted to increase distance I would walk 1/2 mile - run 1/2 mile - walk 1/2 mile - run 1/2 mile then I would increase the distance that way then once my body got use to the distance only then did I increase the run distance by a 1/4 mile. I found that for me this was the best to ease into this running thing slowly you will last longer that way.

When I was running in the park I would see people start out all crazy only to poop out after a few weeks. I like the slow steady approach (which works for me), you don't want to get burnt out. Keep up the great work. You sound just like me ---- love to run

I use stiiv app, you can sink to my fitness pal and it gives you freebies for completing goals like I got two propel Water samples and coupons a $2 gift coupon for Amazon mp3s and a coupon to get 50% off an iPhone case. It keeps me motivated. Also you can do marathons against friends and when you complete them they send Water to one child in South America for one day. Very cool!

I have a question... Last night I walked 2.4 miles and I felt great today I feel like I got hit by a truck, why is that? I'm still pre op.
