WARNING: What running REALLY does to you...

You look terrific and must be very strong to run like you do. I am falling back in love with running and was browsing this thread this morning. It inspired me to push today so after my required 1 mile @ 5mph I did a second mile @ 5.2mph.

Thanks!

Did you find you lost more belly fat after starting to run? Just curious! You look hot!

I LOVE this!!

Running makes me pee.....

Having to pee makes me run!

Yeah! I'm going to be 50 in January. I said I can't run anymore. 4 large babies in my past. No, my uterus hasn't fallen out. Yes it makes me pee.. So what! I'm going to have those legs and a flat middle. Bonus is I finally grew a butt! love it! My computer nerd husband is doing it too!

:happy: Now I'll give you one more reason not to have excuses. I have arthritis and I was so anemic ( about the time I started running) I was going to have to have a transfusion if it didn't improve soon. It improved with a triple dose of iron supplements. And glucosamine works wonders for the joints. I'm running! I have a thigh picture in my profile pictures. I like to eat, too. Running lets me.

Ok that is it, I have semi started c25k, now it;s ON:smokin:

I HATED TO RUN! HATED, DESPISED, HURT, PAIN, OUT OF BREATH, AGONY..I HATED IT!!!

UNTIL...

I downloaded a C25K (couch to 5k) and I'll be damned! I AM RUNNING!!!!! I think I am really starting to get into it!!

I can't say that I am a runner yet since I am only finishing up my fourth week, but I am getting off my butt and going out for runs and I gotta say that it is getting a bit easier!

The program takes you through baby steps...run for a minute...walk for 90 seconds...repeat...do your cool down walk..done!

Anyone considering starting running should really check it out.

I used to go jogging every night..then winter hit...and I used to run on gravel roads by my farm...roads that were under 3 feet of snow in winter...and the idea of running in -30 degrees Celcius weather stopped me from running for 4-6 months each year. I would LOVE to get a treadmill some time so I can continue jogging through the winter though.

wtf? where do you live? haha i thought it was cold where i live...

Haha, the lovely province of Saskatchewan, Canada.

AT THE AGE OF 20 I STARTED RUNNING AND LOST 15 POUNDS IN 3 WEEKS AND THAT WAS ONLY FROM RUNNING AND NO DIETING!!!!!.. THEN I STOP AND NOW SEE WHERE I HAVE ENDED UP LOL. ANYWAY I STARTED IT AGAIN BECAUSE THAT IS A SPORT I REALLY ENJOY!

Awesome!

loved it!!!!! hahaha :laugh:

I heard running gives you wrinkles. That's why I never ever run.

Running doesn't give you wrinkles... the passing of time does, so go ahead and run...

I would rather be skinny and wrinkly (I am that) than fat with smooth skin! LOL

Love it!
