More people than ever before are strapping on their running shoes and racing. Many of them are women and many of them are first time racers. Whether it's a marathon, walk-a-thon, 3k or 5k Americans are signing up for races at a record pace. The number of marathon participants has doubled since 1995. Making their mark...are women. Like Allie Scott. She says that she has done a 5k, it was a struggle but she did, her goal now is to run a half-marathon. Allie goes on to say that you just have to go very slow in the beginning, not a fast run a very small jog and Lee Memorial Health Systems Exercise Specialist, Heather Sines of the Wellness Center of Cape Coral agrees.  She helps people get off the couch and into their running shoes. She says that if you have no physical conditioning first in your lungs, you have to start by walking, a brisk walk- five, 10, 15 min. Whatever you can do constantly pushing yourself.
