I Can Run!!!!!!!

Hi all, As many of you know, I'm training for a marathon. Well, I have been race walking my miles and doing a 15minute mile. When I was doing two miles, it wasn't so bad, but at 6 miles, it was really hurting my shins. So I decided to try running. OMG!!!!!!!! I can run with out feeling like I'm gonna hurt my self. I don't feel my butt fat bouncing behing me, my arms arent rubbing raw on my boob fat, I'm not sending smoke signals from my thighs rubbing against each other. Running is...dare I say...easy for me again! I'm so excited about getting totally fit again! Thanks for sharing this journey with me! Rachel

You should be so proud of yourself - that is wonderful. I hope to someday soon just be close to your 15 minute race walking mile Sissy

Thanks so much sissy. It took me a long while to get to the 15min mile point. Now I'm gonna try to get to 13 in short order for the race Should be a challenging time for me! Thanks for the support! Rachel

Rachel- WOW! That's great to hear! I *can* run, I've tried a few times, but everything flops so hard! I might give it a try again with a scuba suit on or something! It hurts damnit! -beth 313/298/longestplateauyet/130

backatcha...running or no running, you are doing awesome! And in the realm of the scuba suit, I used to run in a spandex unitard. That used the help hold things in place. YOu may want to give it a try. Hugs, Rachel

Rachel, you're giving me hope. Thank you so much for continuing to post on your marathon endevour. I am SO excited for you, and the amazing new feelings you're having in your newly small body. Keep up the great work. ~Lara

Lara, Thanks for always being so supportive. I really appreciate it. Your turn is right around the corner! Hugs, Rachel

I am thrilled for you Rachel !!!! As beth said on a previous post, if I ran, I would knock myself out with all the flopping! But I'm thrilled for you being able to achieve this goal. What an accomplishment! Enjoy the journey! Ronda

Rachel, Thats wonderful, you should be very proud of yourself. Dianne 340/195/150
