When I was twenty-one years old, I started my jjourney as a runner. From personal experience, I realize that the most
challenging part of starting a running program is actually to start. Obviously, each one of us will have a
unique set of factors that may prevent us from getting started. However, it is essential to know that
approximately 50 million people are runners in the United States. Each of them started just where you are
now, but they decided to take the first step. As you will read in this book, there are many benefits to starting a running program, and I hope you, too, will embark on this new journey.

When I first started, I did not have any goal projection of how many miles I wanted to run. I proceeded in small steps, and my initial goal was to run a 5K. This is a reasonable distance for a beginner to like to attain, and this length can be achieved in about two months of training. It took me about four months of training to be able to run a 5K due to a few minor
injuries I experienced. Once I achieved a 5K, I became persistent in wanting to go further and then trained to
run a 10K. I was able to complete a 10-kilometer run after training for six months. I did not stop there, and my achievements became infectious and trained and then achieved a 15K run one month later.

In 1992, for the first time, I entered the New York City Marathon. It was exhilarating to see the 3 million
spectators cheering us on, inspiring us to reach the finish line. Since that year, I have entered the event fifteen times.
