Mom of 4 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi there, I just completed my first day. I was surprised I did it. I am a Mom of 4 kiddos ranging ages from 12 to 6, my second child has been diagnosed as having autism. I did my first day in my living room, in the dark. I don't feel comfortable running outside. I have about a 10 to 15 foot stretch where I walked/ran laps. I have never been a runner, but always wanted to be. I am praying I will have the discipline to do this. Also, when do I repeat the days,? I did today and it wasn't bad. I couldn't believe I actually did it! Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Rob129 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 It is pretty daunting to start up a new program. Yesterday, I observed 60 to 70 year old woman jogging. She was doing really well, going at a good pace. My reaction was good for her. I gotta believe getting out is the best thing you can do and most people will be in your corner. At first, I was a bit self conscious about running in public. I have gotten over this. Also, I recommend signing up for running clinic or evaluation. This will help you avoid injury. Best Wishes, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alligrl Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Today will be my day 2, too. I am also running/walking in my house. My daughter thinks I'm running from her, playing chase, so that's helpful. Lol. I am planning to do this every other day with strength training on the days in between. Good luck to you!
