As a forty-year-old woman you don’t often feel that a second lease on life is attainable.

Are you Galloway's publicist? It sure seems like it.
It's true that not everyone can run. I myself do not. However, it's called the Run/Walk Method. Those who can run do, or build up to it by walking first. Those who can't--walk. Rollerblades, skateboards, trampolines, skiing, diving, etc...you name it, each sport can potentially harm you. Unfit people must begin somewhere, and that's by walking.
