Walk/Jogging

I've gotten to the point in my workout routine, where I need to incorporate more cardio.  Running is my first venture.  Last week I decided to start running...actually it's more like jogging.  Truth be told, I've never been good at running.  As a kid, I would start runing and POW I would fall.  I can't really be sure if my knees gave out on me, or if my body was refusing to participate, but I fell every time.  It made PE enormously painful for me.  After a while, I just got really good at walking fast.
I watch kids run now, and they do it with such joy. Even the "Friends" have their technique for running.  Phoebe made running look like such fun, didn't she?  But I had vowed that I would never run again.  I even replaced words to the timeless Wham song.  "And I'm never gonna run again, heavy feet, I've got no knee strength."  But I vowed on my 30th birthday that I would spend the rest of my life overcoming those things that scared and intimidated me.  I've been scuba diving, I've been skiing.  I've taken up martial arts. And now it is time for me to face the giant that is RUNNING.  Even as I approached my treadmill today I heard the opening theme song from 2001 Space Odyssey in my head. Yes, I realize I'm being very dramatic, but any of you who know me personally know that's just how I roll.
It's my second week of walk/jogging and I'm not dead.  Granted I'm only running for three minutes at a time.  But I am running without falling and I think that is a big accomplisment.  Not to mention that falling while running on my treadmill would be a bit painful, although I think I might set up a camera to record me walk/jogging in case I do fall, cause that would just be hysterical.  But I digress.  I'll check in again soon.
