You Can Do Anything -- First 15K!

Today was a great day. I am 10.5 months out and ran my first 15K !!!! I did it in 1:48:44 with an 11:42 average mile!

I just want everyone to know you can condition your body to do anything now. You life will truly change. People run BECAUSE I run lol.

6 months ago I did my first 5K and it was at almost 39 minutes! I have done a couple more 5Ks but this was amazing. There were two bridges. One easy and one is called the Green Monster. Crazy incline on that thing.

I only walked for about 10s. I'm that person that if I start walking, it's harder to get your body going again. That's my hubby. He did it too! He's lost 35 pounds in the last 4 months and did a run/walk in 2:02 !

I woke up today 5.3lbs from goal weight! Amazing day. Love you people and sorry I'm not around so much but this forum has been invaluable to my journey. I thank each every one of you for words and inspiration.

 

 

 

Impressive! Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you! Glad I could help!

Good for you, I am training to do my first 5K at the end of May. I think being almost 60 years old and having abused my body all my life is making me take a little longer to get there; but today I did 3.29 Kms in 30 minutes so I was happy with that and I did not walk once so I am making progress. Not sure that I will ever do a 15 Km but you sure impress the day lights out of me. Congratulations!!!

 

So proud of you for getting out there!
You will do great. Your body will respond amazingly. It'll surprise you.

Congrats!!!  You look fabulous. 

Thank you!

INSPIRING!!! :) I'm 17 days preop an have always been overweight. So running has always been a dream. Literally I have dreamnt n fantasied about running lol. Just today read march fitness an they have a trading guide :) and there's a 10 k in las Vegas in November AND LIVE BANDS EVERY ONE MILE. I love music :) just a thought I pray could possibly happen...lol got all sentimental :)

Awesome! I used C25K at first but switched to a 9-week 15K training program 9 weeks ago. It was great.

For my cross training days I do Zumba to help with endurance and I added a yoga/tai chi class about a month ago. Keeping your hips stretched helps immensely and injury free!

Wow! YOU ROCK! That takes so much courage, I am still trying to convince myself that I need to do a 5K!
