    I Ran!

    edited March 4 in Fitness and Exercise
    OMG!! I just did Week 4 Day 1 on C25K. I mean, I DID IT!! There are 2 5-minute run sections in my version for week 4 along with 2 3-minute ones and I actually did it without stopping or anything! I have NEVER run for 5 minutes in my life, much less doing it twice in a 20 minute span. Unfrigginbelievable. Sorry to be bragging/shouting, but I freakin' did it!!! I used to weigh 310 pounds and TODAY I RAN LIKE THE WIND!!!! (Ok, more like a staggering, flopping, wrinkle puppy than the wind, but still).

    Don't give up on your goals, no matter how out of reach they may seem. THEY ARE ACHIEVABLE. I am living proof of that.

      I don't know who this is, so there was no need to apologize, unless you were somehow insulting me of course. Maybe it's an age thing and that's why I don't know what you're referring to. All good anyway!

      Not so sure these old knees will ever be able to handle that, but never say never! I do have a lofty goal of being able to run to the gym near my house eventually, which is about 3.2K so we'll see.

      Congratulations! Brag all you want. You deserve it!

      Excellent!

      Slow and steady wins the race. Keep working and building up your stamina. I'm working on running a solid mile, every week I get closer. I won't ever break any speed records, but my body is getting stronger. You should brag and be proud. :smile:
