I used to say that “running was not for me” or “I can’t run it will hurt my knees (my knees hurt when I walk a lot)” Well, much to my suprise – running makes my legs feel fanstastic!</p> <p>How did I get started on this new path? I started working with a personal trainer at my gym for a few months and early on in our workouts she asked me, as part of one workout, to get on the treadmill and run for 3 minutes. I said “I don’t run”. In her typical fashion, she just looked at me and that said it all. So I got on the treadmill and said I would try it. I did and found I could!</p> <p>It snowballed from there, doing a few minutes more each time, alternating with walking for a minute or two. The other day while at the beach I ran (at a slow pace) for 50 minutes – only walking for a couple of minutes at several intervals. Then a few days later I ran for 25 minutes straight! These were big accomplishments for me.</p> <p>Now I actually look forward to running each morning! This is incredible to me and very exciting. So…never say never!</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://stefaniezizzo.com/2010/09/16/never-say-never/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
