I'm interested in biking but my city doesn't have too many good bike lanes or parks to do that in. My goal right now is to be a runner. I have been on and off walk/jogging for about a couple years but had a couple health set backs (heart issues, flu, etc.)

@newgal2 I feel ya. I am sooo jealous of people I see running freely out and about. I watch them and say to myself, "Some day".

I had to do some physical therapy for my knees. Turns out, my body is not really a runner's body. I'm a bit heavy and my hips are not quite right for it. Go figure. But I like it to much to let go. So, slow and steady it is. My immediate goal is to get my legs and Core strength back up to par, focusing on specific muscles without overdoing it.

My ultimate goal is to job the whole way around the nearby park loop (about a half mile). If everything goes 100% well that would still take me a year. I'm fine with slow progress, as long as it's progress.
