Running Class

I've been really good about exercising six days a week (my goal is five times), but I've mainly just been doing some walking.  I wanted to step it up some and get into running, but I've been hesitating due to a fear of shin splints, knee problems, and all the other things that can make you quit after a couple of days.  I decided to get some help, so I began an 8 week beginner's running class today at RunTex.  So far, it's pretty good.  I struggled some with the coordination part of a couple of exercises, but overall I was keeping up just fine.  We are starting pretty easy, so I'm going to continue my walking as well.  I don't think I'll be running an ultra-marathon just yet, but I will be ready to run a 5k or 10k at the end of the 8 weeks.  :)
