    Awesome! Keep it up but don't overdo yourself!

    I remember when I first started riding bike again. It was a sad day for onlookers lol.

    CONGRATULATIONS! I remember being able to run my first lap. It got addictive and before I knew it I had signed up to run a 5K and a half marathon. I recommend the couch to 5K program. That's how I got started. Now I run using the Jeff Galloway interval running method. Remember to "Keep on moving". ~OWW~

    OK, laugh if you want to, but hat is HUGE for me..... first time I have run in about 15 years!

    But not only did I run a lap, but I played 35 minutes of basketball / dodge ball, but I also hit the heavy bag for 15 minutes, and then finished up with a 15 minute cool down walk.

    All, in all, one helluva day for me.

    Are you kidding me? Laugh?? HELL NO!! I applaud you and say GREAT JOB!!!:drinker:

    Try a bath instead. Any warm water will help. Oh and dont forget to stretch your quads and other parts of your legs so they don't tighten up.

    Next time try for a few more steps past the 1 lap and keep adding each time you run. Before you know it, you would have done 2 laps!

    Good Luck and keep going!

    Well, my goal is 250 feet further, next time. :)

    This is no laughing matter!!! Good for you! :drinker:

    I highly recommend the C25K program as well....when I started it, I thought I was going to have a heart attack running that first minute. But I pressed through and now running the full 30 minutes without stopping (almost at 5 km in that 30 minutes) and I've signed up for a triathlon in April!!! Baby steps - keep going and you'll be amazed at how far you get!!!

    Nice job, you!

    I'm jealous about the Dodge Ball!
    (It's one of the few games I played in childhood that were not traumatic. I really HATED Red Rover. I also hated TetherBall.)
