Great tips! I love the idea to set an achievable goal, and a harder one. I’ll have to think about what goals to set!

Karyn – if only we could communicate how fabulous running is! I may write a post on why I love running later.

Chelsea – I think making it easy is very important. I also second your opinion that doing whatever you can is worthwhile!

Good tips. My tip would be: make it easy. Don’t require yourself to go to a gym or a special running place unless you really want or need to, and NEVER say you won’t be able to do enough time/distance to make it worthwile. Put your clothes all in one place and just step out the door, and do whatever you feel like and your schedule allows.

Jess – Running with your Dad is an awesome reason and tip to start running. Unfortunately I have no one to run with (hello pity party ! ). But I think a great tip, is to get out and jog with friends. It could make it more fun and hold you accountable to get out there.

Tasha – I couldn’t agree more. Real running shoes make an immense difference. When I started running I used cross trainers for about the first month. Old cross trainers. The upgrade of not only real, new running shoes but ones that were right for my feet was such an improvement. It felt easier, and hurt less.

In fact, I am actually in need of some new shoes now. Thanks for the reminder!

Great tips, and I’m so glad that you love running. Loving it is more important than begin fast. I started running with my dad.

Great article! I think that the 6th tip should be included on this list. I had bought some regular Nike running shoes a long time a go and started to jog/run. I ended up getting horrible blisters and pains in my feet and legs. I was so frustrated that I thought I was not cut out for running and I quit. It wasn’t until recently that I went and got fitted for shoes. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I LOVE running now!
