Afton asked:
I have about thirty extra pounds on me that I want to lose by summer, and I also signed up to run 5k (about 3 miles) by summer as well.
I’m a terrible runner and I’ve avoided running since 5th grade when someone told me I ran like a duck, and I quit swimming on the swim team two years ago. Since then I’ve gained a lot of weight and I’ve gotten really out of shape.
I hardly ever have time to run, but I walk home two miles from school every day. I can’t really run it because I have a backpack and a bunch of books weighing me down, but is there anything I could do while walking to make me stronger?

Is there a way I can become a better runner, get in better shape, and be ready to compete to run 5k by summer?
Thanks!
