Shape says: Why running?
It’s one of the quickest, easiest ways to get fit and lose weight - fit and fabulous It’s fun and versatile – you can do it on the treadmill, the road or on a forest trail - treadmill for me It’s social – join a running group, rope in a friend to do it with you, or find a training buddy on our Running Club Forum - i prefer to run alone There’s no expensive equipment required – all you need is a good pair of trainers - which i have

hmmm..this is a good idea (though I fear running on treadmills)
Hey my birthday is also in May :)
Good luck on the run!
well BB, i started running for the first time on the treadmill a few weeks ago... thought i was going to fall flat on my face... cartoon style.. but i managed! i just did it really slowly... like on 5, then 5.5 then 6....then 6.5 till 8 then ran for a few minutes and then down to 5 again... lol, was hilarious but felt great! Don't worry, if i can do it ANYONE can!
When is your bday? mines the 13th!
Thanks Sunny! I'll need all the luck i can get!
lol ... good point MudIsland Mike! :)
Good for you, woohoo, well done!
I love running although I struggle up here with the altitude. I did some amazing fitness training through a running club. It might be something for you to look into!
Congrats for signing up! Hey my birthday is on the 10th (on Mothers' Day - bleugh!) so I'll definitely be toasting you :)
