Let me start by saying this… I am no expert! I am only writing about my experiences. The opinions expressed here are simply that, opinions. I have cited others’ work and linked to those sites I found expert information. In January 2011, I began running again, something I had not done since I was in high school 25 years ago. I know am not alone in my quest to get back into shape at age 45. My goal is here is share some running tips that helped me get back into running. This book is written for persons, like me, who have recently become aware of their need for more physical fitness activity in their lives . I hope that you enjoy this booklet and find it helpful. Much of the information in this booklet can be found online and at any number of resources. However, I have put a lot of thought and time into including my personal experiences in this booklet as well in the hopes that others are able to have a similar successful experiences as a benefit of your individual efforts. I hope to encourage and perhaps inspire others to start or restart running…again!
