I wouldn't normally post, but I feel like shouting from the mountaintops!! I've never been a runner, and really didn't like doing it. Today I set a goal to run one mile, just to see if I could. I did myself one better and ran two!! Now I'm thinking about starting C25K so I can get more of this amazing feeling. That's all, thanks for reading.

I used to be like you.. If you are running outside, I suggest buying a Garmin GPS watch. It will record everywhere you run with complete accuracy. Then you can upload it online. It's sooo cool. It makes running fun!

Big Congrats to you!!

Congratulations!! Thats so amazing! Isn't it just such a great feeling to realize you can totally do it!! I'm very happy for you!! Get on that C25K!!! Soon you'll be running a half marathon!! I know, your laughing, but stop it!! I totally laughed too, and I just ran one! And I laughed when someone told me I might doing under 3 hours, but I did!! You will be a runnin' fool in no time!!!

Congrats! I want to be like you, I have always just walked and have tried to run but give up as soon as my heart starts pumping hard. You are inspirational and now I want to try again

Way to go!!

My entire life I was under the impression that I would never be a "runner." I started running over the summer and got hooked!! I can now do 4.5 miles without stopping. I ran my first 5k race this morning and am training for a 10k next month. Definitely try out a running program

that's awesome stuff! i started off like that- well i started lugging my fat *kitten* between lamp posts and eventually built up to running a kilometre. then i found c25k, which changed things entirely. and just like JAllen has done (awesome btw, congrats to you!), i'm running a half marathon next week and another in october. it's so worth it- welcome to the runners family!

Congratulations! And you should do the C25K program. I did it about 4 months ago and I was not a runner AT ALL! I was able to complete it and now I am hooked! I enjoy running and I've done a few 5K races. I like to sign up for them every other month to keep motivated. It's a great way to exercise so you should definitely do it. You won't have any trouble. You already ran 2 miles! Go for it!
