totally off topic victory of sorts

[OakLeaf]

Yay Marni! And not totally off topic whatever! Time to join in the running/walking threads, maybe.

Totally on topic victory

"I went out and suddenly within the first 500 feet or so, I hit my pace, slow and steady, no breathing distress, and kept going until I was starting to feel like it might be nice to stop. Check my route mileage and much to my surprise it was 2.04 miles in 36 minutes. Granted that is not speedy, but it a breakthrough of sorts.”

It’s funny, we sometimes post things but little do we realise how it can help somebody else, in fact somebody a very long way away.

First of all I want to send you an enormous virtual hug, I’m sitting here all teary as I am so pleased for you. I don’t usually do walk but have just achieved something similar, so I know how excited and what a smashing feeling it is.

Continue walking and jogging but most of all, enjoy it and keep well.

Hugs.

Totally not off-topic! Congrats! There's nothing better than finding, as I call it, your "energizer bunny" pace. The one where you can keep going steadily until you just don't want to, without your legs or your lungs yelling at you first. Happy day!

Marni, of course you can do this. I think a lot of what determines whether or not we can do something takes place between our ears. If you think you can do a 5K then you can. I'm not implying that just by thinking it you can suddenly & miraculously do it. Of course you have to train and prepare, but if you do those things you will run 5K. No doubt.
I used the Couch to 5K (C25k) plan to train and build up to running. It was great. I was just under 200 lbs.

So keep going and you will do it. I have full confidence in you.
