Wanted to share mine, I started running at the age 39 starting with the 8K, did a 16K last year. Don't ask my timing pls, I find your timing impressive :) The best experience for me was, when I trained, I met fellow runners of all ages and sizes and everyone encouraged with a thumps up, a nod of Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-2288718990339362662015-09-22T13:46:15.301-05:002015-09-22T13:46:15.301-05:00Deepa- Walking is terrific exercise, especially if...Deepa- Walking is terrific exercise, especially if you are able to walk briskly and over long distances! You have much less risk of injury with walking than running. Running does have some benefits over walking, like increased calorie burn, cardiovascular fitness but really, either walking or running (or run-walking) is great. <br />Nupurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890441057480820053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-50605064733757085682015-09-22T12:58:24.345-05:002015-09-22T12:58:24.345-05:00Congrats Nupur!

By the way, inspired by your post a while ago, I changed my diet a bit and guess what! I achieved my own 5!!
