A Beginning

One chilly day as she sat on her largish rump, Stodgy Legs Elf thought to herself, "I should run 26.2 miles in the Autumn of 2009"

'Twas then that she realized that as proven in the past... Stodgy Legs Elf could not run. Short and squat legs do little good, even when faithfully attached to a long torso.

Fleet of foot and elvish she was not, yet with dreary beginnings she nevertheless began to make a plan. "Couch to 5K" said she.

Week One Shall Be:

A 5 minute walk among the trees, in which a large and dangerous Ork shall chase Stodgy Legs for 60 seconds after which a faerie shall protect her for 90 seconds. This thing shall happen over and over until 20 minutes have past. This shall she do three times the first week.
