I ran for the first time in years, the day before yesterday,

It was scary, my fat had its own life and went up and down all over the place,

But it was a relief at the same time, a feeling of future freedom,

i ran for 1 minute, then took a break for 30 sec, then ran 1 min, then a 1 min break, then ran 30 sec,
then again,

hehe but i did it :laugh:

    Good for you. I used to run as well and sometimes have dreams that I'm running again. Walking is the best I can do now but would love to jog...someday!

    Just be careful, I am not sure of your age or health but I hadn't ran for years and thought it would be great to start again. I have two stress fractures in my legs. The pain was horrible and I am not suppose to use my legs for 6 weeks (but I feel better so..). Anyway just pay attention to your body and ask your doctor before you start heavy running. I wish you the very best.

    That's fantastic. Have you heard of the couch to 5K program? It's just a little guide for beginner runners that lots of people on the site have found helpful :)
