Like MindiV, I decided to try my feet at running today as well...
I just did my first ever outdoor run, in GA where it is sunny and 60 right now... I don't have good shoes yet, figured I would see if I liked the running before investing in the shoes, but I need them anyway, even for elliptical trainer...I first walked a mile at a pretty brisk pace and then ran an entire mile. I have never run that much at one time in my life! I didn't actually know the length of the track until after I was finished and back home, so was pretty excited that it was a mile long on the outer ring I was on. The park I was at was pretty crowded with kids out of school, so I got impatient and left, but I suspect I probably had at least another half mile in me. I'll probably only get to run once per week, so we'll see what happens next time!
Anyone know where to go in Atlanta for good running shoes? I have some Christmas money that I figure will go for those...
