I agree! The only time you'd catch me running would be if someone was chasing me......
I started the c25k it's taking me longer (asthma and over 200lb's) but I did manage to "run" at a 5.3 pace for 15mins.
Anyone who's reading this "thinking I may try this" do it!! I am the poster child for "if I can run, anyone can"!!!!
OP well done!!!0 -
This is so awesome! I've just been getting into running also. Always hated it, now I'm trying to sneak it in whenever I can! Such a good feeling!0

You are a runner.0

That is great! Congrats!
I have started to run more serious now also. Shin splints are not holding me back as much and now I can run for about a half mile before I walk and catch my breath up but then it's back to about a 6mph jog. I can finish a mile in less than 10min which is almost as good as I was in High School. I will check into the C25K program. Thanks! javascript:add_smiley('wink','post_body')0 -

I never though I would say that I am a runner. I have always hated running. Even in high school, when I was a decent athlete, I hated running. I started the couch to 5k program 6 weeks ago, along with some serious strength training, because I am running a tough mudder in October. I found the first week to be pretty easy, but the weeks following were much more difficult. My calves tightened up and were extremely sore every time I ran, but I never stopped. Eventually the soreness went away and by week five, I was running like a champ. I finished the 20 minute run at the end of week 5 two days ago and felt like I could go longer. So today, instead of moving on to week six, I just decided to see if I could run 3.1 miles (5k) without stopping, and I did. I ran 3.1 miles in 35 minutes. It felt amazing. That was the longest I have ever ran in my entire life. I still have over 5 months to train for tough mudder, and I feel like it will be a walk in the park now. I have lost 65 lbs, I have quit smoking, and I have trained my body to run over 3 miles in 6 weeks, I can do anything.
Fantastic story! You look great. Thanks for the inspiration!0 -
