    That is awesome! I am going to be doing W5D3=20min straight run tomorrow and am pumped! You have given me the extra boost that it really can be done!! It is really just like the quote on your ticker. I am sure you feel amazing, thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

    I haven't signed up for a race yet, I'm not quite ready for public running (I use a treadmill in my basement). I am working on speed next, keeping it at 30 min runs. I'm hopeful it will help me keep my weight loss moving, and I'll be "race ready" in another 6 months or so :wink:

    I know what you mean about the public running. I really thought people would totally be judging the fat girl running. So I started in a park with a nature trail (ie away from a lot of people and traffic). No one pointed and laughed. I'll even run on the sidewalks now..in full view of traffic!

    I totally understand as I did c25k on my treadmill starting on 1/1/2012. Took my running outside a couple weeks ago. I go real early in the AM and had to back up to week 6 for 1 week as it is more difficult. Now working towards a charity 5k run/walk on June 9th. I know I will not be first, nor will I be last. I find pacing the hardest to get down so I do not start out to fast & burn myself out, but it is getting better. Do not be afraid to take it outside, just remember you are lapping anyone sitting on the couch.:flowerforyou:

    Great job! I actually just started this one, I was able to start with week 2 thankfully, and I am so excited to do a 5K! I went to the Ogden Marathon today and cheered for the runners, I want that to be me next year! It was so exciting to see all those people. I am going to be on week 2 day 2 tomorrow, looking forward to my run!

    Oh thank you., you have made it sound so real and possible. I am at the end of week 2 and I guess realistically even that is amazing that I am running for 90 secs etc. Congrats on finishing and being able to run for 30 mins, can't wait until I can say that.

    My thoughts EXACTLY!

    Congrats! I just started a C25K app on my iPod and did the first day yesterday! Yes, I thought I was going to die with all the running! I can't wait to finish it and do a 5K and finish it with pride! :D

    Great job. Im going to start doing that. I now walk 5K almost daily but havent gotten to any running yet. I too felt the same way, I thought I could never do it and now I no longer need my inhaler while exercising!!!

    now I can say I'm on my way to being a real runner.

    the minute you laced em up and decided to put one foot in front of the other and then followed through you were a runner. Keep rockin.

    Way to go!! You are so inspirational. I'm halfway through week 3 of the program and your story gives me a lot of hope!! I never ever thought I'd be running again (used to in highschool when I was in shape) but here I am! Congrats, your story just made my day :flowerforyou: :drinker:
