I am estatic. I have been walking/running for 5 months and today I finally reached my goal!!! I have had so many mental blocks, didnt think I could ever do this. It was the best feeling in the world. If you are working toward a goal, keep going-keep pushing! It will happen!!

    Great job! I just started jogging and I can successfully do one mile. I'm hoping by the end of the summer to be able to jog 4.5 miles. You are my inspiration!

    1. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO congratulations!!!!!




    2. to Chicaloca- YES YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!! all it takes is starting slow, being persistent, sticking to the goal.
    I signed up for a 5K when I felt the SAME as you- "I cant run" and I started a 12-week long couch to5K program. I found out... YES I CAN!!! You don't start with 5 minutes, you walk 3 minutes, run for 1, work your way up SLOWLY and before you know it, the weeks fly by, and you are a RUNNER!

    if you are interested, just let me know and I will direct you to the program I used... or just google "couch to 5K". there are TONS of different ones out there, and YOU CAN DO IT!

    that's me. I used to jog/run, and lost a lot of weight, but now I have knee problems, and am scared to try running again. I am slowly trying to jog in between walking, but most of the time my knee starts to hurt and I stop, but I will keep trying unless my knee hurts too bad.

    thanx for the motivation ive read about the couch to 5k and have thought about doing it. another huge huge reason i hate running is becuase im very large chested and guys just always stare(i know its a tupid reason but it just makes me so uncomftorable). when my foot gets better i think ill try this though

    when I started running, I was a 42DD. NOT comfy!

    38D, as of today :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
    and WAY easier to harness:laugh:
