No wonder you haven't been around much since joining. You've been out being Awesome!

Congrats on everything.

^^I agree with this. Glad to see such improvement! That's amazing!

I wish I could do all that running stuff, but I've learned that running isn't really the thing for me. It doesn't make me happy, doesn't make me feel awesome and I can't just zone out and run. Instead it's more like "...annnnddddd when can I stop?" Haha. Wish I could do it, but I just don't have the attention span or willpower for it yet. :)

Kudos to all of you who love to run!

Jedi! Congrats on using the FORCE to overcome the challenges you have set before you! I am with AWD, I can't run, but I appreciate those who do. i love to walk, I love to dance, I love to yoga, I love to lift, but I can't run worth CRAP and my poor border collie maggie mae hates me for it! LOL (no....she loves to walk too)

Keep up the AWESOMENESS! you wicked ROCK!

So awesome! Congrats! :D

Contribution to the personal thoughts on running: I enjoy running the most when I'm in the woods. There's a particular trail in northern MN that goes slightly downhill alongside a river, and running down that always makes me feel like I'm in some epic Lord of the Rings adventure. :tongue:

At mile 10... I did not want to see that hill.... I am so afraid of hills. Maybe that can be my next goal... like a half marathon of hills! lol hmmmmm

Come run one in Georgia we got hills to spare!

Congrats on your amazing progress and accomplishment!

Congrats! I can't wait to run my 10 miler in May... So that I never have to run that far straight again. Like others, it doesn't appeal to me and I can't shut my brain off or zone out. Maybe an audio book would help...
