Uh huh. It's called the couch. But it's only my bedroom when I do something stupid.

I did C25K when I was in the mid 300s and made it up to (a slow) 5k without too much difficulty. A couple of words of advice: 1. Friction's the enemy. I always run with compression shorts now. 2. Listen to your knees. I don't run as much anymore, actually, because of my knees.

Sooooo yeah. You win the internet.

Man here. I have lots of female friends from various points in my life. My girlfriend (of five years) is 99% fine with it (she thinks one occasionally texts too often, but that's a personality thing rather than a "female friend" thing) and has nothing to worry about.
