Gah, I'm so happy right now. I finally am able to say I can run 10 miles without stopping. I did so last Wednesday and am honestly so proud of myself. I just wanted to let it out :)

I used to not be able to run a lap without feeling like I was going to die...so hopefully I can provide some inspiration to anyone who wants to become a runner! It's a very rewarding thing to be.

    Very cool! You are an inspiration! I am working in that direction too. I have ran a bit over five miles without stopping so far. Thanks for sharing and great job! :)

    Thats awesome!! Hopefully I can get there! I've gotten to the point now where I can run 2 pretty comfortably. I even ran 3.1 last weekend! Personal record but haven't been able to do it again! hahahaha

    I'm training for a half marathon thats going to be in February and this was week 1 for training! Its seeming PRETTY impossible right now! I have to keep reminding myself that this is just the beginning and that I need to stay positive and be patient! lol

    Definitely inspiring. I'm planning on starting the C25k program soon because I want to get into running. Do you have any advice?

    Well now you done ya 10 miles!!! WTG OP!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    and yes, you are inspiring because I know, first hand, just how bloody hard you have to work to be able to do that in the first place.

    Only trouble is, you are now hopelessly addicted :laugh: (me too, I dunno why I am laughing to be honest, but I think we both love running to bits :laugh: )

    OMG I Bet You are Happy I'm only at 7M now but I will get there! Congrats :)
  • My best advice would be to just run. Get out the door every day and just go. Forget you're running, learn to love it. Just run.
