“Walking & running may well turn out to be the most significant experience in your life. Yet it does not always seem fun when you first try it. For one thing, chances are you are out of shape. Not irreparably, but if you are beyond your teens you’re probably not in the best condition. Your muscles are soft. Your joints are stiff. Your heart and lungs aren’t used to working hard. As a result, you’ll feel slow and awkward when you walk or run. It will ache a bit afterward too. But even if you are severely out of out of condition it only means it will take a bit longer to get back in shape. Trust me. The goal is worth the struggle.” Jim Fixx
