Tips to stay motivated

Make the decision now, don't procastinate, don't over think it, just give it a go. 

Begin very gradual, don't aim to do too much too soon.  It's about injury prevention.

Begin with the first step and simply follow the program - don't jump ahead of yourself or your ability.

Enjoy the process.  Relax, smile and look around.

Jogging pace is judged by how you feel - you should feel in control, relaxed and able to breathe comfortably (heavier, faster breathing is normal but gasping for air is NOT!)

Some days will feel fantastic, some days will feel hard work - take it all in your stride - but don't give up.  We are not machines but humans so accept the good with the bad.

Imagine how you will feel as you cross the finish line - happy & satisfied that you achieved?

Tell your family and friends what you plan to do! It will help you stay committed to your goal.
