No Drama here

I love the Couch To 5 K Running Program message board! It's my favorite... wait... the only board I always enjoy.
There is NO DRAMA on these threads. Could it be all the endorphins? Thanks to everyone who posts updates here.
Sometimes we aren't able to be completely positive (darn the blerch) but in these cases we are reaching out to others
for support. Drama we are not.

So true!

I know sometimes you have to be honest with people for their own good but on some parts of the forum they are brutal!

I know there's anorexic runners, etc. but really, I rely on the running to guide people into a healthy lifestyle. You can't go fast if you don't fuel. You can't run long if you go too fast. If you give yourself half a chance, your body will figure it out for you.

I have learned so much about running from this community too. It provided a lot of inspiration, motivation and support for me as I was doing C25K, but it also taught me so much.

I know. They're so childish.

The word drama comes from the Greek word δρᾶμα, which means action, and there is tons of action here. So there is tons of drama. There are people succeeding, falling down, and then getting back up. There are people expressing their fears, doubts and triumphs. There is so much drama in this group that we could put on our own reality television show and people would watch.

I love that we are positive with each other here. I almost never post anything (other than here) because I don't need the negativity that's out there the main boards. People get just downright rude out there. It's great to know that if I have questions or a rough time I don't have to worry about people here being mean just for the sake of being mean.

I agree, runners rock!!! Everyone is always so supportive and encouraging. This forum is a great place to seek out guidance from others without any negativity.

Love this viewpoint!

I had to go on hiatus due to a knee injury so don't have much to contribute, but agree wholeheartedly - the boards are a mean and ugly place these days.

Thanks for a oasis of kindness and wisdom.
