I've always enjoyed running - its a challenge and it makes me feel good! But running in public scares me, I hate the jiggle factor! And, for the moment, I'm still a tad jiggly. I've recently started the couch-to-5k program, and I've been running outside in the full daylight (*gasp*), jiggles and all. Today I was running, and an older gentleman passed by me in a truck, gave me a thumbs up, and said "keep up the great work!" I LOVE IT!! Now THAT made me feel wonderful! I wish the whole world was that supportive!! :0)

    You should pass it on!
    I walk everywhere instead of driving to keep in shape. I see people jogging past me everyday and I always cheer them on with a "You're doing great! Keep running! You can do it!" It makes them smile and me smile. Good stuff.

    Way to go Girl!!! You are brave... I still have lots of jiggly area but I just join a gym with my boyfriend. To be honest, I'm a little scared to go running on the treadmill....

    Keep up the good work.

    Oh gosh - I totally understand that. I bought a treadmill for my house so I could workout in the privacy of my own home with nobody watching. But the more I think about it, the more I realize that I am working out for ME, to make ME feel better! Not to impress by-passers. But you can do it! Running on the treadmill is a great place to start! :)
