I *really* want to start running. Right now, running outside is *not* an option (spring might be right around the corner, but it definitely has not arrived in my neck of the woods, and I have no desire to go running in snow/ice), so my only real option is running on a treadmill at the gym.
But.
...I can't seem to do it! I do fine walking at speeds right up to 4.5 mph, but put me any higher than that and I can't do it. I mean, seriously, put the speed up to 4.6 and I literally have to hang onto the sides just to keep upright. I don't know, it's like I'm sliding backwards off the machine. All I can picture is me, flying backwards off the treadmill like a goon.
So I need some serious advice here. I really don't know how to run, as silly as that sounds, and I am open to any and all advice, because I *know* there's a runner in me somewhere, and I want her to come out!
