    I remember that same run when I was maybe 12-15. I hated Friday's. That was the day, I was
    humiliated too. I decided it was easier to become one of the smokers and then I could accept
    the fact that it was my lungs giving me trouble, not my weight. Plus, I felt like I fit in somewhere
    with the smokers. What a trade off huh ?? What goes through the minds of young people.

    BUT, for you and for all of us who were not able to accomplish this at another time in our life,
    we can do it now. I think we are strong now, we dont give up as easily. We have something
    to fight for.

    congrats to you. I too RAN for the first time at the age of 34 when I met my husband. He
    was a runner. I had never run over a minute. He taught me how. Slowly. He told me, we
    weren't racing -- we were just walking fast and enjoying the time. Before you know it we
    were comfortably jogging together. I got such a high !! The best thing I ever inhaled !!

    Great job !

    what a great NSV!!! and so sweet of that guy to say that to you... I've read a lot of people posting on here that they are scared to run in public because people will be judging them... and I've seen lots of people comment back to those posts that most people will just be thinking "good for you!"... that guy just proved them right :)

    Awe! This definitely made me tear up! 1. Because i can imagine what a wonderful feeling that was.2. I can totally see myself being in a similar situation.
    That guy was awesome. I always think things like that when I see people really trying in their workouts, but I'm too shy to approach them. I bet he made your whole week!
