~~~~~Here's a little more for you, if'n you really wanna gitcher game on:

first, try reading some Louise Hay - I've got her book " You Can Heal Your

Life " . It's fabulous, although not all of it is easy to " hear " ...

Also - understand that shoes are CRUCIAL. You MUST have good shoes - the

first minute the " cush " starts to go in mine, my shins begin to threaten me

with splints, my knees start aching (crooked kneecaps), and my hip begins to

pout (couple of falls off horses - hit the same exact spot, and they were

within 7 days of each other. my hip has been prone to pouting ever since,

which activity I am industriously talking it out of...).

But if you are careful, considerate of your body, and serious about wanting

to do it, why, then you can!

I started out walking faster, with just a few yards of jogging here and

there. Now, I'm out for a total of 3 miles, with 2 miles of non-stop

jogging in the middle!
