IronChefEd Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yeah, the Scouts are saying "Big deal, I do that for a warm up!" But for me, a 6'1, 240-lb guy who falls closer to the Warrior class, running has never been my strong suit. Several years ago I was jogging 3-4 times a week and did pretty well with it, but it's been close to 4 years since I actually did 3.1 miles without walking. And while I'm not breaking any speed records, the next goal will be to do it under a certain time. Now to go put some ice on my legs... 3 Quote IronChefEdRace: Human | Class: Adventurer | Subclass: Bard [Level: 6 | STR: 33.7 | DEX: 7.7 | STA: 27.3 | CON: 27.9 | WIS: 14 | CHA: 15.5 ] Current Challenge: 2016 is here! 24%24% Weight Loss Goal: 250 to 200 "No one will feed you as well as someone who loves you." -Alton Brown Link to comment

samhain13 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Congratulations, Sir!! I need to work my way back up to a 5K 5-6 days a week. Jogging/Running first thing in the morning helps get me motivated. Right now, I'm at between 2 - 2.4 miles, 4-5 days a week. Quote Link to comment
MattGannon Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Awesome job! I'm horrible with cardio, so 5k seems like a very long distance to run. Quote "Courage doesn't always roar.

TheAccountant Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Fellow 240lb here. When I was younger (and 25lbs lighter), a 5k was like coffee, something you do to wake up in the morning before breakfast. Since converting to "Ranger", 5k's seem like FOREVER. And that extra 25lbs makes a difference! Grats!
