I stayed up until about 3am smoking as many cigs as I could because I've sort of decided to quit smoking tomorrow.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Dude. The first mile is the best one of all. Don't forget that all the people running marathons and 10Ks, at some point, had to conquer that first mile too.

As usual, Bonkin is spot on. Tomorrow I will run the John Carson Road Race, a two miler that is run in Chelmsford MA every 4th of July. I run it every year now, and it reminds me that I've (literally) come a long way since it was my first official race. I just set a personal record for highest monthly miles at 167 in June, but the first time I ran on the 4th I honestly didn't know if I would be able to finish. I really wish I had RunningAHEAD when I was beginning to walk/run, I could have avoided a number of false starts and injuries. My running probably would have progressed much more quickly, you've found a great resource. The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, congrats on taking it and keep up the good work.
Consistently Slow
Run until the trail runs out.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

Slow down to a pace you walk or has close as possible. Go for distance and not speed.
De-slacking in progress

I started in June. It was exhausting and not fun at all,
