BUT BUT I am not a runner? NSV

I can’t believe it. When I started my Journey on MFP last October I could not stand up for more than 5 or 10 minutes. I started walking on the treadmill at 2.6 miles an hour at only 10 minutes a day. Well today I ran.... ya I ran at 5 miles an hour for 2 miles straight and I could have kept going but I have to get ready to go out this afternoon so had to stop. WOW 2 12 minute mile. At the last minute the song from Chariots of Fire came on. How weird is that. It made me cry for what I had just accomplished. :bigsmile:

Oh, yeah, that rocks!
When I started, I could do about 5 minutes on the recumbent bike. I'm now doing 25 minutes and reaching about 7 miles. The last time I went to my doctor and weighed, I'd lost 32 pounds since November. That was at least a month ago.
Keep up the great work! It's encouraging to me to see other people getting healthier as I try to do the same. :-)
Peace,

Wow! Keep it up it will change your life. Make me want to get off the keyboard and go run.0

Great job! Running has never been one of my favorites either...I'm trying to break thru! My breathing is what I have a problem with....how do you do it!0

A huge congrats to you! You just told my story as well!! I am so inspired by music during my workouts. If you like the Chariots of Fire theme, you really need to download 300 Violin Orchestra by Jorge Quintero. I intentionally put it into my playlist at a point where I know I will need it and it seriously pushes me to finish strong.0

AMAZING! So proud of you! Pretty soon you'll be saying but but I've never run a 5 K

Not silly to cry at that at all - I filled up a little bit for you so don't know what that makes me!!
You are most certainly a runner!! Well done!!!!0 -
Congrats on the accomplishment and keep it up, you'll be doing marathons before you know it!0

WOW!! That is so inspirational! And the Chariots of Fire song was just the cherry on top.0

Great job! You should be proud of yourself! Once when I was running in a race "I believe I can fly" came on and I started tearing up and it gave me motivation to keep going. Keep up the awesome work!0

THANK_YOU for sharing this! I starting jogging last week. I can only do a quarter KM before I have to fast walk and jog alternate! Thanks for the inspiration and a bit of hope that I will get better! Way to go!0
