    Chunky runner!
    I have ran over 5 half marathons and recently finished my first full marathon. I love running and I also LOVE to eat and drink.
    I think i got into the mentality that since i was running so much, i could eat and drink what i wanted... however that is not the case!! AND since i stoped my training I wasn't logging as many miles, but still eatting the same...

    Ha, I love this. I am a C25K graduate, and did 3 5k's in 2012. My goal is to do 5 more in 2013 along with a mud run, and work up to a 10k by the end of the year. Running is helping me shed the chunkiness though so I also hope to be an unchunky runner this year too. Love new friends who are active with logging and support!

    Nothing burns fat faster for me than running. But at my current weight, that sure is tough on the joints! Any tips is really appreciated! Feel free to add me, the more the merrier!

    Chunky runner here! Although, I refer to it as a 'fatty shuffle' and its definitely more of a jog HA! Half way through C25K with my first 5K in three years (The Color Run) scheduled for next weekend. Feel free to add me!

    I certainly qualify! Did C25k class last fall and was able to finish 2 5k's before the Holidays and ready to get back into it next week. I could certainly use some motivation and accountability as well. Add me.

    I feel like a chunky runner! I consider myself chunky..mostly because of my hips/stomach/thighs area. I definitely have those "Child bearing" hips and I swear to you, they are just not built for running, but I love it!! I feel like I'm carrying a literal tire around my midsection when I run. or bags filled with sand. I hate it.

    Hello,

    I am a chunky runner as well, started last March, did my first 5k in May and set a goal at that time to run a 5k every month. I am slow but i'm moving and it makes me feel good. I found it helpful to find a group of people that like to jog/run as well, it is helpful to have that support! Also, as a result of my running I discovered I had a slight heart problem that was diagnosed and fixed so I am greatful for running.

    Go gettum:smile:

    Another chunky runner here, sort of. I started to run just a few weeks ago. While I have plenty of lungs, my feet can't keep up. They hurt so bad! I could barely finish 1 mile. It was a slow mile too, at only 11:38. I really wish I could go for longer.

    One thing I've noticed is that if my shoes are too tight the pain is more severe than if I were to leave them loose. Anyone have suggestions?

    I'm a chunky runner! Well, I don't know if I could consider myself a runner yet since I want to drop dead only after a mile! But feel free to add me!

    I love that there are others out there that run regardless of the jiggling and some bouncing and rubbing! I love running and I've done 2 half marathons and numerous 5K's and other middle distance racing. Although when I tell people that I run long distances, I can tell they think I'm lying! I have a deceiving athletic ability. I like to use it to my advantage during a race. The skinny ones look at me thinking I'll be winded ten minutes in. Then when I pass them at mile three I nearly have to pick up their jaws off the pavement! ;)

    I have taken some time off recently after a foot injury. I'm getting back into it and I hope this time it will help me finally get to my weight loss goal. My eating is my Achilles heel! Keep on running my friends it so good for your endurance and its such a good stress reducer!
