Born to Run. In my case, waddle.

SO...it's June in Arkansas.  It's hot.  I have a little bit of a gut, and I haven't run more than 1.5 miles in about 3 years.  Born To Run sparked a desire in me to fix my running, but I have no idea where to start.  I am literally firing from the hip as I begin my journey to running more, changing my diet, and supplementing where it makes sense.  My ONLY goal is to learn how to run so that I can still be running no matter my age. 

Hello, this is day 1 of the Born to Waddle blog.  

I just finished the fantastic book by Christopher McDougall, Born to Run.

I have been running casually, at least every other day, for about 2 weeks.  My distance is somewhere between 2 and 5 miles, and I've been going any time I can find time.

A little about ME:  I have ZERO running experience.  I look like a T-Rex when I run, and for my entire life I've been given a hard time about how I "waddle" when I walk or run.  My nickname in the Air Force is, in fact, Waddle.

I have an idea about running: there must be a way to run that will be productive rather than destructive.  

This blog will track my running progress, the lessons I discover on my own or through others, changes in my diet, and nutrition.  I have my own Amway business, so I have access to Nutrilite's best natural supplements and sports nutrition products, and I intend to put them to the test, as well as different running shoes.
