Back in July I could barely run two miles. A few things that have been a big help to me: 1. Find someone to run with. It's too easy to wuss out if you're on your own. 2. Outside running. The treadmill, with it's fancy mile counter that never increases fast enough, was slowly driving me insane. Running outdoors is much more of an adventure. 3. Races. Signing up (and paying for) a 5k definitely helped motivate me to prepare for it. Somehow I’ve managed to get my sorry ass to the point where I’m ready to run the half marathon this month.
