After Four Weeks

[Minniespal]

Of going to the gym five to six times a week I have finally run on the treadmill. I have gradually built my speed up and have been power walking all this week. I was very embarrassed and self conscious at first, thought everyone would be watching me but when I finally started to run no one noticed.

Just wanted to share it with you all!!

That is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are now officially a runner, woohoo!!!! Have you ever run in the past or is this something completely new? How did you feel? Did your lungs start to burn? You should be WICKED proud of yourself, that is awesome!!!!!! Just wait until you start experiencing that runner's high, it is incredible! Good for you, I am so proud of you and so happy for you!

Keep up the great work, Florence, that is really incredible!!!!

I love threads like this! Isn't wonderful when we over come our little insecurities - not to mention you are running - WOW! Keep up the GREAT WORK!

Good for you, let the rest of the people look at you, who cares what they think as long as you are happy with your accomplishments. I know one thing, just a few days ago I had to run after my dd's school bus because the driver came the wrong way plus she didn't know the bus stops. I know last year I would have never been able to run after it. Hopefully the weather will get nicer soon so we can start more outside activities again, this rain is killing us!

TigH,

I have not run since I was at school, even then I didn't really care for it.

I don't know about my lungs burning I thought my legs were going to burst into flames.

Hmmmm. When I ran down the driveway to keep my DS's ball from going into the road, my neighbor laughed at me. I must have looked ridiculous!!!! Oh well!

Good for you. I'm glad that you set a goal, met a goal & nothing got in your way. Keep it up!!!!

Woo Hoo!!!! What a milestone. I'm so proud of you. Were you smiling when you finished that run? Were you feeling proud of yourself? I sure hope so.

Is this gym Slimming World? Or a different one. I only ask because we have two new WISHers who belong to Slimming World, not in Scotland, though
