I ...I started running as a completely unfit person. I took it slow slow slow. Luckily I live near a nice rubbery track which helps a lot. I really don't recommend running on pavement or asphalt... way to jarring on the knees and joints! In any case, I started with 2 laps walking/running and worked my way up. <br /><br />My recommendation is to make a running schedule 7 days at a time. For the first 6 days just to run/walk as far as your body allows and then on the 7th day, really try to push yourself towards a specific goal. So for the first "cycle" make your last day goal to run 1/4 mile, then the 4th "cycle," a 1/2 mile and so on and so forth. Not exactly scientific, and the number of days in your "cycle" is really up to you. This is just what I'M doing, and I find it worked for me. <br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986001169509680291.post-60162443314050596252009-04-28T20:00:00.000-04:002009-04-28T20:00:00.000-04:00You definitely do!

I felt like I was constantly trying to pull my shirt down over my rear.<br />In 2006 my fiancee' and I went to Aruba. A few times in the morning before it got scorching hot, we would get out there and play for an hour or so. We were sweating like pigs on that court, but had such a good time. We made up our own rules (because neither of us knows the real scoring system). It was a blast. Go for it and have fun!!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238975951012806222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986001169509680291.post-72591977969979545542009-04-28T12:20:00.000-04:002009-04-28T12:20:00.000-04:00Congrats on the tennis workout!

I got hubby tennis rackets and tennis balls for his birthday last year... but we still haven't played! I really need to drag him out onto the court and just do it!Chubby Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130319992240173318noreply@blogger.com
