SWEEEEETTT!!!!!! That is so awesome! Try running outside...I find it more motivating and more enjoyable! Keep it up!0

That's great! Just be careful with running because it can cause injuries and is hard on the joints.0
-
That is truly wonderful. Congratulations!0

This is why I have not previously pushed myself very much! I have been so scared. But so far so good. Definitely going to be doing it slowly!
To everyone else OMG THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! I never expected such love from the MFP'ers!!! You guys seriously rock!0 -

Good job!
And, about the injury thing . . . if you have weak or bad joints or feel any odd pain, you should definitely take that into consideration. But other than that, what do you think is worse on your joints - running (which will also STRENGTHEN your joints, by the way), or carrying lots of extra weight around all day?
When I first started, my wife kept saying she was worried that I would get injured running or hiking. I told her I would much rather break a leg while running or fall down a cliff while hiking than have a heart attack while sitting on the couch with my hand in a bowl of nachos.0 -
LOL @DaveAkeman , my daughter pitched a fit when I told her last fall I wanted to start running. All she saw at work were the runners coming in with an injury or somesuch. To keep her mind at ease, I took an eight week Learn To Run class. One of the most helpful classes I've ever taken. Yup, lots of running is planning and injury prevention. Don't skip my stretches!0

The local Running Room stores run the classes. Win-win, the stores gain themselves a whole new bunch of fanatics.0

Way to go, it will get easier!0

Good job!0

Way to go! Stick with it and you will be amazed at what your body can do. I do not exaggerate when I say that C25K changed my life, and my husband's as well!0

Awww well done! I've always found running one of the hardest exercises x0
-
Yay! Another C25K-er! And congrats, btw. If you'd like a new runner friend just add me. I'm on week 5.0

You are right and truly after 114 pounds lost I am doing so much better than I was before. I wasnt sore or anything the next day. (which every attempt previously was...) I will continue and I will master this!0 -
