I don't normally post stuff, but today I had a lovely NSV. Two years ago, I couldn't walk half a mile w/o wanting to call the paramedics. Today I ran (6mph) a 5k in less than 31 minutes. Certainly not world class, but my personal best, and not bad for a 60 year old, lifelong couch potato. To all of you, don't wait as long as I did to get healthy. If I can do it, you can too.

You are such an inspiration to me, that i am glad to see you reach further than ever before. It shows how persistent hard work pays off!0

Not sure who is in the pictures, but I certainly see no old lady0

Great effort thats inspiring! You should be proud of yourself. I have also recently started C25K and already starting to enjoy little bit of jogging. I wish the pains go away quickly so I put more effort into it.0

Thanks guys! Can't believe I am saying this, but it was sorta fun. Oh, that is me in the picture, thanks, sofie, for the lovely compliment.0

Thank you for sharing! That is amazing. I am 26 and I did my first 5K about 8 months ago. I completed it in about 45 minutes and thought i was going to die but i COMPLETED it and I wasnt last. It was such a great feeling!0

That is an amazing achievement! 5k in 31 mins is freakin' awesome! Old lady my *kitten*! :drinker:0

Congratulations! That is a great success story.
I am close to being able to but have yet to run 5K in a stretch. You inspire me to keep at it. (I would be ecstatic with your time)0 -
In my country, you are considered middle aged and even the public transportation company makes you run after the bus easily
) (and no free rides!)
Old here means "lady with thin white hair walking with a stick". So stop calling yourself old unless you feel that way!0
