Big Time Goal for Me

naguilar210

Hi all,
Just wanted to share my success story.
One year ago, I used to get winded going up some stairs, hated going grocery shopping because I knew I had to lug bags of not so great food up my apartment stairs/make multiple trips. Hated shopping for clothes because I knew nothing would fit, and if it did, it would look horrible. I wore the same DARK clothes for years.
Friday, I ran 45 minutes straight. I just kept going and going and going. Saturday, another 45 minute run, Sunday another....and today....will be another. (Dont worry I will rest tomorrow)
I cant believe Iv been able to run 45 MINUTES WITHOUT STOPPING! Im sure this goal is just something small to some, but its HUGE to me.
I cried after my first 30 minute run (couple of weeks ago) but I was bawling on Friday after 45 minutes because I was filled with success, was overwhelmed!
Thanks for reading

congratulations!!!! that is an amazing achievement. Running is not an easy task, it really takes a lot of strength and endurance to keep going, not to mention motivation, dedication and willpower!! 45 minute run? AMAZING! Especially coming from someone who only 1 year ago got winded going up stairs. That is insanely impressive!! I hope to share in this same joy soon!

Great job!!! That is so exciting. I understand your joy as I have never been a runner and recently began running and am up to 35 minutes! I was so excited when I got to a ten minute mile I cried too! Keep up the great work.:drinker:

That's awesome! I know I cannot do that. In fact I am celebrating right now that I can walk for 40 minutes straight at a rapid pace.

That is amazing - CONGRATS! It is probably mind boggling to think about where you were a year ago and where you are (and RUNNING, i mean running literally, to) today! :flowerforyou:

Wow...I got chills just reading about your progress. I just reached my 50 lb goal and still have another 100 to go. I have progressed from a short walk that would leave me feeling like i was going to die to now walking 2.5 miles in 45 minutes . To think that at some point I could run...seems unbelievable but reading your story ..maybe it can happen. That was so inspirational!! Congratulations to you...this is indeed a HUGE accomplishment!!!! Thanks for sharing!
