So, I decided to use this running program, designed by Jeff Galloway’s

Stage One:

Takes you from ground zero to running 45 minutes using a one minute walk, 10 minute run program. Stage one will get most people ready for a 5k race.
Week	Walk Minutes	Run Minutes	Repetitions	Total Minutes
1	1	1	7	14
2	1	2	5	15
3	1	3	4	16
4	1	4	4	20
5	1	5	4	24
6	1	6	4	28
7	1	7	4	32
8	1	8	4	36
9	1	9	4	40
10	1	10	4	44

Stage Two:

Gradually weans you off walk breaks so you can comfortably run 60 minutes without stopping. Stage two will get most people ready for a five mile race.
Week	Walk Minutes	Run Minutes	Repetitions	Total Minutes
1	1	15	3	48
2	1	15	3	48
3	1	20	3	63
4	1	20	3	63
5	1	30	2	62
6	1	30	2	62
7	walk 1, run 40, walk 1, run 18 (total=60 minutes)
8	walk 1, run 45, walk 1, run 13 (total=60 minutes)
9	walk 1, run 50, walk 1, run 8 (total=60 minutes)
10	run 60 minutes continuously!

just doing it!

Of all the things in this world I never, ever, thought I would do is running.

One day, for no reason and with no previous warning, I just felt like it. I was 29, mother of 1, sedentary, and a little overweighted. I had just a pair of old trainer shoes, some nice t-shirts given by my husband and a jockey hat won in a pub.

I had no idea how to start.

It took me months to find the courage to start! Everything seemed unknown. Until one day I found a wonderful post about the top ten questions asked by beginner runners and everything began to make sense. I was something! I was a beginner runner!
