Wow! Thanks for sharing.

OMG!!! That is amazing. I wish I could be a motivated runner...I have NEVER been a runner even when I was REALLY FIT dancing 3 times a week and bball 2 times a week! I wonder how you can train yourself to be one!?

I think that guy had a link on his blog page that said something about a Couch to 5K program? I told myself to go back and look at that, but didn't do it yet. Typical! :cry_smile:

I once told my old boss that "I don't run unless a rabid dog is chasing me". :eek:

Maybe I will change my mind once I lose some weight and walking gets boring.:w00t:

That is amazing! I can't even imagine running at this point. I used to run in high school and I loved it, but that was many moons ago!

My husband runs and really wants me to run with him, maybe I will be able to run. A lot will change in this next year.

In the past though I have tended to play team sports and could run on a bball court for ages and those dance classes were intense workouts. I was doing at least 5 hours a week dancing and 2 hours bball and I was very fit! But have me run a 3 k fun run and I struggled...go figure!

I'll be giving it a red hot go once I lose enough for it to be comfortable and after I've bought a good sports bra!:w00t:
