PhoenixRising Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I have run maybe four times since the fourth of July. I really thought I'd never be able to run again! I tore my ACL 9 years ago, had to wait four years for the surgery, and it hasn't felt "right" since. Well, I found out that after losing 30 pounds (actually down 50 from my heaviest) I can run! Yay! So, I started out at the beginning of July to see what I could do. I did a mile in 16 minutes... Ugh! Most of that was walking. So, I ran yesterday for time and I ran a mile in 12! Holy crap! I have been walking, but I have only run four times in total! I can't believe how much better I did. Of course I almost puked and I thought I couldn't breathe when I stopped ( I played sports long enough to know what is too much and what I can work through). Now to start the challenge next week! I want to do the c25k program, but start a few weeks in. I am doing a 5k in October! Link to comment
