Been trying for 11 years

Hi. I do W3D2 tomorrow. I have tried to get myself to run for 11 years since getting my treadmill and each time I make progress, I end up breaking a toe or getting injured doing something else. After the last few years of having a baby, 2 broken toes, a collapsed arch, and an emergency appendectomy, here I am at 40 with 5 kids and I AM GONNA DO IT. I want to lose weight and I run super slow so I know I won't hit the actual 5k distance in 8 weeks, but I am going to pace myself, listen to my body, and pray for this little win. My 13 year old daughter is doing it, too. My husband needs to improve his health and he said he will start it if I finish it. So I am hoping to show my daughter (and myself) that I CAN so that my husband WILL. I thought it was hard yesterday and I have a little anxiety in anticipation of tomorrow.

So...that's me.

Welcome :) family is a great motivator for starting a new healthy lifestyle.

Its normal to be anxious because you know it wont be easy but it'll be one of the best decisions you can make for yourself. Good luck!
