I cried (and dry heaved) a lot at the end of my first race. I was 270 lbs when I ran it and never ran before c25K in my life. Congratulations!

I dry heaved at the end of my first one too. It felt like a right of passage :-)

Good for you girlie! You are so right - who says running is only for the "skinny" folk. Keep it up. You are an inspiration - and don't let anyone tell you different!

You guys made me tear up again !! Thank you so much.

YOU ARE SO AMAZING!!! I have so many people that are in their 200+ lbs range that are women that complain and say they are too helpless to get in shape... I'm showing them your success and hopefully that will get them to see that they won't die, and that it feels like an amazing accomplishment.
YOU ARE A RUNNER!!!

Congratulations! You make a stand for the people who say "I can't do it, I can't run". Your an amazing woman! Be proud!!

Way to go!! It makes me so happy to see people not letting their weight limit them from getting out there and DOING things!! You should be very proud of yourself and keep up the great work!

You are amazing!!!! I just did some jogging off and on during a walk today, and am excited to try to jog more of the time next time. I'm 332 pounds, and you have inspired me to push myself further next time. ROCK ON!!!

How? I can only manage 30 second bursts followed by a good 5 minutes of walking.

You SHOULD feel like a superhero!!! That's an awesome achievement. You're making me want to try to train for 5K. I don't think I could pull it off just yet!!!

WTG!!!! That is fantastic!!!

You are most definitely the superhero of the month! It's so funny how we just assume we can't do certain physical activities because we're too heavy. I'm coming up on 5K #3 and I would have never believed such a thing could be possible. I'm so proud of you, and feeling that exact same, "Wow, did I really just do that? Aren't I amazing?" feeling :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I almost feel teary eyed reading this. Congrats!
