Fear is normal. Don't let it block you from seeking a healthier lifestyle. This indeed is a lifestyle change. If you are a praying person, pray and let it go. You will be fine.

If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be running, I would have laughed at them. LOL!! I twisted my knee running last Tuesday so I took the rest of the week off. I honestly didn't know if I was going to be able to run at all on Saturday but I did it!! Not only did I do it, I ran my fastest 5K time ever. Yay me!! Even though the scale and I are not friends right now, I feel good and I am so proud of myself. I have been challenged to run a half marathon in Sept. (I must be crazy). I have a lot of work to do. Game on!!

Hey there @3283 The most important thing is: It's your race at your pace. Take your time. Start off slow. Walk if you need to. Do intervals if they help. Get some good running shoes for a running store where they test you. The shoes are expensive but worth it. Listen to your body. Last, have fun.

That's awesome. Way to go! I had surgery last month and plan to run one in December. I want to give myself time to lose some weight and get in shape in general. I've never even run a mile in my life but often wished I was more of a runner.

Congrats!! Way to keep on keeping on in spite of you injury. That's the sign of being committed.
I am running my first 5k on April 9th. I have walked several, but this one will be the final workout of my C25K plan! I am thinking I should be able to run at least 80% of that distance. I am really slow so 30 minutes of running isn't going to quite get me to the finish line.
Congrats again and keep it up!

You've changed your life.

Well done. You are killing it. Huge respect for you going after it.

WOW congratulations girl, what an accomplishment. I hope I look that good after running my 5K. Not sure when, but I'm going to run some day.

Wow! This is a tough one. Really though. My first thought was if this was something he really wanted, he wouldn't be talked out of doing it. Honestly, I would stay out of. Just my thoughts. Good luck!
