Thanks. Good luck with the 5 miles. It was a major moment for me when I got to 5, no small thing when you're first starting out.
unsolicited advice #1: If you're serious about running, I'd suggest signing up for some races. They are a good way to keep you focused towards a goal and a date. Perhaps a 5k to start. They're a lot of fun and pretty inexpensive. -The great part of running as a sport -cheap. unsolicited advice #2: I run 3 times a week: first run 3 miles(ish), skip day, second run 3 miles(ish), skip day, weekend long run - 5-8miles(ish) unsolicited advice #3: Find a run partner that will hold you accountable to go, preferably someone better at running than you. [edit] And best of luck with getting published! That's an amazing goal to set. Make it happen.
