Who knew?
I ran into a woman tonight I haven't seen in a while. Every day I would post my exercise stuff on Facebook and ask people how they were moving. She had always wanted to run, but never had. When she sw my posts, she figured if I could run, so could she. She started with the C25 and is now running 6k's.
I inspired her to run! You never know whose life you are impacting Yeah there will always be those who won't get it, but so what? My decision to turn my life around benefitted me and this womean as well.
I am sure that severaL of you have been a positive influence on others as well. Thanks to all of you here who have inspired me to push further when I really didn't want to. Kuddos to all!

That's a great story!!!
I'm getting a lot of positive feedback on these boards, and in "real life" a friend of mine and my sister and moving up from 5Ks to join me on a 10k run next month! I'm considering running a slower pace just run with them!
