I have very bad memories of my high school gym class. I always dreaded the day when the teacher said it was time to run the mile. I would finish one of the last in the class with a time of 12 minutes or more. The teacher would run with us and if she beat anyone to the finish line you would have to run it again. Despite my lack of ability and the hate of the sport, I am now training to become a runner. I thought I had better declare it so I actually stick to it. If I don't make it running at least I'll be a really good walker.

Yeah for you! Good luck and I'll cheer you on. :) Maybe one of these days I'll start running myself. For now I'll be content with walking.
Way to go! After this baby I'm going to try again too. We can be running buddies.
