The Purpose

First - I am not qualified to give advice and anything I post here is purely of a recreational nature or for my amusement only.

I purchased an activity tracker around March of 2014. In an effort to increase and sustain my activity levels I started walking, then what I call shuffling, however I am now a runner.  It's just beginning, It is now summer here, the hot, humid days haven't hid hard yet and I have yet to face the challenges of running during the great Canadian winters.

If you are reading this I would love to hear about your experiences getting started.

I am currently running 4km, three times a week. I am okay with the distance and I am trying to maintain a pace of about 7 1/2 minutes per km.

Sounds achievable, however, I am also dealing with Plantar Fasciitis and very tight calves.  It is a bit discouraging. I bought tennis balls to massage the bottom of my feet. I am trying to stretch before, after and at random times throughout the day.

What are you doing?
