    Yay! I'm so glad you posted this I'm the same, a few weeks ago 5km was a struggle and on Sunday I did 15km and it was amazing.

    Sadly most of my running is treadmill due to pollution but better than nothing and it means I enjoy outdoor runs even more when I can do them!

    A friend of mine inspied me to loose weight. I started following what he had done and #1 was joining this site #2 was running. OMG when I started I couldn't run a block, really I couldn't. My knees hurt and I was sure I wasn't going to be able to do this. But I got got some good running shoes and did knee strenghting exercises. I took my time and walked mostly. I looked at the C2K program but I had to get to where I could run 1 minute first.

    I signed up for a 5k and thought I am out of mind. The date looming ahead for the race was a driving point for me. I ran more walked less increased my distance. Day of the race 2 miles was the most I had done but I was going to finish that was my goal. I ran most of the way, walked some. I ened up finishing at 42 minutes not a great time but I ran across the finish line. It was an amazing moment for me to realize I did it!!!!

    I now look forward to my runs. Increasing my speed and distance. It's all on me and what I can do. Going to do another 5k in the spring and try to run the whole way and cut my time. Oh yeah I'm learning to love it.
