Yesterday, Susan and I were at DSW and I tried on Saucony running shoes for the first time. My sister just bought a new pair, and I wanted to see how this brand would feel on me. I was surprised on how comfortable they were for my wider feet. I just started wearing Asics and I said they same thing about them once upon a time. I still love my Asics for working out, but Saucony feels more sturdy and cushioned in the heel. I told my wife that I'm buying these shoes as motivation to start running.
My new Saucony Men's ProGrid Ride 2
For my first run, in an extremely long hiatus, my goal was to run a complete mile. I came up a quarter mile short. I'd like to blame the hot weather at a balmy Texas 75 degrees, but I can't. I'd like to blame that the new shoes weren't properly broken in, but I can't. I'd like to blame my back for doing 4 hours of yard work the previous day, but I can't.
...I'm just out of shape. One step at a time, right?

This entry makes me think of Mr. Nilson. I remember when the mile was something to dread! And then, over time and with training, the mile was something to conquer. So yup, it's one step at a time!
I'd say you're on the right track! Get it? Track? Okay, good. :)
