You have taken the hardest step-even thinking about running. It won't be very easy at first but give it a few months and you won't regret it, me and my family now have the best social lives thanks to all the fab friends we have made due to running You will encounter the most genuine bunch of people ever (always ready to help keep you going & keep morale up). If you have kids its also a brill sport to teach them that money hasnt spolit all sports (like footie) and that the person who comes last has run just as far as the winner!!-not a bad lesson to take through life?! I would advise that in a while when you cant see any improvement re-visit one of your first runs and you may be suprised at the difference (we constantly say we cant ever imagine anyone actually finding running easy-just somtimes it isnt as hard!!)
