Many responses here about exercise. (Not surprising, because I suspect many of us here were NOT the most physically active types in school or college :))

But yes, I too discovered running rather late and realized it took me only about 3-4 weeks to overcome the initial discomfort, inertia and struggle. That was one of my "why didn't I start running sooner" moments.

If any of you are waiting to start running, I'd say, start now. No reason to fear it.

Same is true for having a regular meditation practice. It makes a world of difference. Don't wait to start it in your thirties or forties. That's another practice I wish I had started in my twenties.



The couch to 5k program worked very well for me. Have kept running 5k and 10k events ever since. Recommend it to everyone.


Absolutely. I'm training for a half-marathon and the Hal Higdon program has worked well. Same principle as C25K.
