What's next?
Choose a good pair of running shoes. They don't need to be expensive; they just need to give your feet good support.
Find a running partner. On days that you don't feel like exercising, a partner can help motivate you. If you can't find a friend who enjoys running, take your dog along. It is always ready to go outside, and the exercise makes it healthier, too.
Practice safety first. Be aware of the traffic and run facing the cars coming toward you. Don't wear headphones while running outside. The prevent you from hearing cars, stray dogs, etc. Be sure to carry identification, and wear bright clothing in order to be seen easily.
If you're ready to start, why not participate in the next "Let's Run"? The event is a fundraiser that benefits children and families in need. It's a great way to experience the joy of running while helping others.
