Any Chunky Runners Out There?

I'm a little chunky and training for my first marathon! Last weekend's long run was 12 and it's 13 on Saturday. Motivation for my weekend runs is easy because I get to sleep until 7am and then relax and eat breakfast before I go. Mid-week runs are super tough because I can't go in the morning. I'm a high school teacher so I'm at work by 6:30am. Running after a full day at school is SO HARD, but I ALWAYS feel better after a run, which is why I do it.
I'm doing the Shamrock Marathon in Virginia Beach VA in March. The month before, I'm doing the Disney Princess Half and I'm super excited about that one!0 -
Hello to All! Another one here! I started really running in October 2012 and I have my first half marathon in May 2013. (best 5k time is 43 minutes so I have/had a LONG way to go! ) I am always up for chatting about running/eating/fitness etc. Feel free to add me but please add a note so I know who you are0

Chunky AND slow, but, I got heart! Love the simplicity and challenge of running.0

While I'm not particular "chunky" anymore (although I still want to lose the last 10-15 pounds) I am definitely a back-of-the pack plodder...I'm slow but steady. I still love running and would love to make some new MFP runner friends! Feel free to add me!0

Chunky runner here and I will add you I had started the C25K last year and it almost killed me, I think the hardest part was learning how to breathe properly, and then I got preganant so I had to start but I am going to start again. This new year is bringing on a new me!0

If I could run I would definitely qualify for a chunky runner. But I have no lungs. I tried the C25k for like 2 days and wanted to die. Wow that's sad. I wish I could catch the running bug that seems to be going around to all my friends and family.0

Chunky runner here! I'm on week 8 of C25K and just like majority of you, I almost passed out after doing 30 seconds of jogging but now, I can go and run for 30+ mins without stopping and I love it! I'm running my first 5K on Jan. 19
I'm so adding you right now :happy:0 -
I'm definately a chunky runner! I love/hate it with a passion! LOL Waiting for our temps to get a TAD warmer before getting back out there (current windchills are in the single digits...).0

I don't consider myself chunky, but have to lose 10 lbs to my goal weight. I just completed my first marathon, and really love running. I also gained weight while training! WTF?? Anyway, please add me in, I love to talk about running (and weight loss)0

hoping to be an "ex-chunky" runner. Love running, started last year & ran 11 races including a half marathon & plan to run like crazy in 2013
Feel free to add me, any additional motivated runners are always welcome :drinker:0 -
Yup I am a chunky runner..lol. I ran my first 5K I guess two years ago. This year I have been down with an injury to my hip but I am finally able to run again. I started back on the track on Monday and boy are my legs now sore....but I missed it, glad to be back
Chunky Runner unite.!!0 -
Chunky runner here (but less chunky than a year ago!). 10-11 minute/mile pace and completed my first full marathon in late 2012....(at an almost 12min/mile pace.) Continuing to run in 2013 and newly discovered the joy of mudruns!!!! LOVE them. Feel free to add me...I'm fairly consisent about food logging (although I usually take 1 day off/week of food logging) and very consistent on exercising/running logging.0

Currently doing the C25K and LOVE it. On off days (even tho it's not reccomended) I just "go with it" on the treadmill. I find myself intending to walk for 30 min, then end up cranking up both speed and incline because it "feels right". So, yes, I am a chunky runner-and quite a site on the treadmill, I'm sure!0
