I ran.

I ran yesterday.
For the first time in a long damn time.
I didn't run very far or very fast or very long.
But I ran.

I think I'll do it again tomorrow.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

desweds

Yeah, it did kinda come out Flock of Seagulls a little bit.

Well done you!

Depending on how far you ran, you might want to check out a training program like Couch-2-5k. You can get apps for your phone (if you are into it) that can make running success really motivating!

You should check out C25K running program (Couch to 5K). I hadn't run in 10 years and a friend suggested it to me when I told him I wanted to start running. It's a run/walk program to ease a beginner into a running routine. There is the free version you can get on your phone (C25K by ZenLabs) or you can pay $1 for the add free version. It literately changed my life. I love to run now and I was at least 100 pounds overweight when I started the program.

Love this post. I. ran. You da man!

desweds

Yep. I used the Week 1 Day One of C25K to do my first run. OK, technically it was a run/walk but the fact that I could run nine heats of 30 or 60 seconds each surprised me.

That is awesome! No matter how far, fast, or long you ran, you still ran further, faster, and longer than had you sat on the couch.

starbucktigh

Good for you! Keep it up!

Ronij59

I love it! I did the same thing when I ran. Same as you, it wasnt long or far or fast but it was and that was awesome!

Here's another vote for using C25K. It really works. I followed the program and now routinely run 5km 2-3 times a week.

Ive heard about C25K for a long time...

what is the general idea / purpose?

Been treadmilling for a while, thinking about bigger challenges down the road

thanks

I am on week 3 and I love it. Every week I think I psych myself out but then I do it. And every week I start to love it a little more. Good luck!

mandymack14

Yay! Me too! Hurrah for beginning runners!

I started c25k last week but didn't do it properly so I'm doing week one again this week - day 1 yesterday. It's the first time I have run, by choice, in my entire life! And I didn't hate it. :happy:
