Some general replies:
Re shoes: I have some good quality running shoes (thank you Reebok outlet) that I actually purchased for the gym because they looked so nice (ahh vanity!). Now they're actually functional as well.
Re the web and also Re building up slowly: I'm following
this plan, which was recommended by my trainer. The local running shop also has free biweekly beginner runs which I may do once I'm able to keep pace.
Re breathing: How exactly should I be breathing? I looked online but really couldn't find much.
Lady Pi Phi: I'm doing the
Oktoberfest Run . I know you're in TO, but if you wanted a goal to strive for (I'm such a goal driven person I know I wouldn't stick to running if it wasn't for a race) you could do it with me! I have some friends I'm running "with" but they're all fit and will finish far before me!
ETA: Everyone - Thanks for all the support! I know I can do this if I work at it!
