Thanks... I thought that would be good for a few laughs. Looking around at beginners and beginning training programs, I'm wondering if I'm running too much to begin with. What do y'all think? I haven't had any pain other than what I consider typical aches and pains. Breathing is fine. I was in pretty good shape to begin with (playing basketball regularly).
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Welcome! You may want to share your running log so people can see what you've been doing. As far as beginner running programs, a lot of folks around here came back to running with the Couch to 5k program.
Sorry, thought I'd shared it already.
Just me...
Welcome Julianne and Latrice! Latrice, I see you are from Bedford. I just did the C25K program earlier this year. Another thing I found very helpful was to join a local running club. There you can find people at your ability level to run with and most clubs offer free or very inexpensive races to their members several times a year. You may want to look into the Grapevine Runners and Walkers club. There are some great people in that club.

Thank you so much for that info. I was looking into the Dallas Running Club, but I thought I was the only one in the area. I appreciate it!
$20 for a year membership gets you 8 free races plus discounts on several others. I'm a member of DRC. Fort Worth also has a running club - but I don't know any details on them.
