MatthewD Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Ok I finally got out and ran on the road tonight... and guess what, the neighbor's didn't come out with torches and pitchforks or stand and laugh... Right now I am about 279 lbs and I ran 0.75 mile loop that is in my neighborhood. It was mostly up and down hills.. I ran most of the way except for the two steeper hills which I walked quickly. I finished in 8:42, not world record time but it is a good start... doing it again on Friday also thanks for checking this out Quote Link to comment

Guest Snake McClain Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 That's damn good. I hate running so I sort of envy anyone who can or does this. Good work man. I expect to see more like this. Quote Link to comment

The Tin Man Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Wow, outstanding job! I'm willing to bet doing it once and not realizing how little people care what you're doing will help you do it again! In fact count me in as one who, if I saw you out running would think "good on ya, mate!". And I'm not even Australian.
