I started running in 2010 to train for a half marathon in 2011. I ran my first 5k Spring of 2011. My kids and husband always teased me saying i was slow and i always did a momma jog (whatever that means). As soon as I crossed the finish line I just broke down and started crying. I accomplished something I didn't think I could ever do. I finished 33 minutes. I was so proud of myself.
I've been running ever since doing my "momma jog" LOL!
So good for you in accomplishing your running goals!!5 -
congratz, hooked ... I had a time where I had to run, but not because i enjoyed it, but changing shoes, and seeming to have found my pace changed the whole mindset ... hook line and sinker ...1

I didn't know I was a runner until my first 10k. I had planned on doing a mix of running and walking during it. In the weeks before the event I still hadn't run a full mile on any one go. At the 10k however I wound up running the whole dang thing! I've been addicted ever since. It just took me realizing that I *could* do it, basically, the limitations had been mental, not so much physical.4

Also, you might want to start checking out the "Monthly Running Challenges" in the forums.
The current one for March is wrapping up... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10521779/march-2017-running-challenge#latest
...but a new one for April should be appearing in the next day or two. It's a great, friendly, non-competitive way to keep yourself accountable to mileage goals, and chat with other fellow running addicts. Some great info gets shared there, I know I have learned a TON just from participating there for the last couple years.2 -

Congratulations!!! Heck ya you're a runner!!!
Great feeling isn't it? I used to feel the same way. I felt that way after running half marathons with medals hanging on my wall. I think we all feel that way. Some of my best feeling runs were the ones I had to force myself to do and most of the time those were during crappy rainy weather. Nothing more cathardic (damn spell then a rainy run. It's freeing.
Enjoy every moment.1 -
Definitely a runner! I'm doing couch to 5k and today ran 15 mins straight... by far my longest time (although 3rd time attempting c25K). Little by little!5
