_THAT IS GREAT_!!! Are you having any issues with 3 miles? If not only increase mileage by 10% _ON MORE_!!! Anybody that can go out and run is a hero to me!!! Make your runs fun don't get to serious unless you want to do races. _CONGRATULATIONS_!!! :^0

Wow that is great. You just started 3 weeks ago and you can already run 3 miles at a time? It took me 11 weeks to run 3 miles at a time 3 times a week. Keep up the good work!!!

Re: Started running 3 weeks ago.
Thanks, your encouragement is flattering. The only issues i have is that 3 miles is about all I can muster, I have run 3 miles twice a day, once in a.m. and once in p.m. I did 4.5 once and I felt overdone. I figure going from no excercise to this has to be good for me. The only other thing I have encountered is that after I run my face becomes red and almost rashy with a burning sensation. other than that i really love running and I look forward to it. Thanks again and keep in touch.

You really have no need to extend your mileage at this point. Just enjoy your miles and build up your base. Have you run a 5K race yet? If not register for one, it is a great experience and a good time to meet other fellow runners.
