The real secret to long-term, healthy weight loss is a consistently active lifestyle, and the key 
    to constant activity is learning to ENJOY IT. 

    Remember that running is as much a mental as it is physical! You have to teach your body 
    how to move, but you also have to teach it to enjoy the movement. It's just like learning to 
    play an instrument -- It will be hard at first, because it's foreign, but it will get easier. You may 
    get frustrated, and you may want to quit, but soon, you'll make progress. Your long runs 
    become your short ones. Your fast runs become your slow ones, and one day, you'll find it 
    isn't hard at all! The next run may be even better, but if you don't go try, you'll never know.

   Be positive, and make yourself enjoy at least 1 thing about every single run. 

Then, Plan It Out:
    A pre-set training schedule means you've made a real commitment. It holds you accountable, 
    and it gives you a sense of accomplishment. As you begin to log miles, keep track of how far 
    you ran and how you felt while you were doing it. Good runs mean you're getting stronger. 
    Bad runs mean you kept going even though it was tough.

3 Runs Per Week:
    Most running coaches follow the same training principle. Three weekly runs will ensure
    that you are working consistently and building your strength at a safe, steady pace -- not too 
    fast and not too slow. This schedule gives you ample recovery time without allowing your 
    body to lose its current fitness. Although running may seem like an instinctive motion,  
    you will need to re-teach your body how to move. Most beginners’ injuries are the direct
    result of overuse or overextension. If you take things slowly, you allow your body to
    strengthen itself in a natural, healthy way. Your muscles will support your joints, your heart
    will learn to cope with stress, and things will get easier, instead of harder.
