    I go out at 5am so there's fewer people to see the huffing & puffing and sweat pouring off. I'm hoping if I keep it up I won't look like a fish gasping for air.:blushing:

    Every runner started somewhere.

    Definitely read this^^^ (I was going to try to find the link about the time I saw this post - LOL)

    This is all the motivation you will need to get out there, and get moving! :flowerforyou:

    I have to tell ya - people will look at you. I know because I do it all the time....but I swear to god at the time I think to myself "Good for him!" or "You go girl!'
    I am self conscious to run on the indoor track at the gym but I have no problem outside. :)
    good luck
    you got this

    Me too! You just gotta do it though. You'll probably be surprised of some reactions you get. I go to the park really early in the morning and there are maybe 10-20 people there either walking or running. I always get the nod and a smile and "good morning" from all of them. It's like an elite club hahah
