Well, not quite yet! I would really love to run a 5K sometime next year. Today was a big day, I ran 3 miles on the tread mill without using an inhaler. I have never run 3 miles at one time in my whole life. I have asthma and it gets really hard to control, especially at age 21(+19). I had to start out 8 months ago by walking two blocks without wheezing and then slowly build up to running. I would love to run in a marathon that supports research for kids with asthma.
Does anyone have any good running or work out advice??

Good for you!!! I talk about running a lot on my blog...I am a beginning runner as well, I can make it about 3 miles and just ran my first 5k on Saturday (which didn't turn out so fabulous, but oh well!).
My best advice: take it slow!
Great job!!!! The best advice I got when I started running is to keep it up! If you can motivate yourself to go even for a few minutes each day it will really help your strength and stamina!
I am also very slowly working towards running a marathon one day. My strategy is to just build up the mileage slowly. Great job with the 3 miles! You're doing well :)
that is awesome... keep us updated on your progress!!
Great job!!!
Best advice I can give you....don't ever give up. Invest in a really good pair of shoes, and replace them frequently most recommend every 300-500 miles.
Congrats! I've just started running 5K's too and LOVE IT! Such a good stress reliever and I really like the race atmosphere even if I'm not a serious competitor. I've found that just running as much as I can is what has helped me the most. I usually run after work so I try to have a light afternoon snack to make sure I have energy. Good Luck :)
Congrats! The Boyfriend and I have been using this http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml to train. It is a good pace for me...
