Did someone say something in the forums that inspired you? Quote them here!
sefkhet - what some call a scrape, we call proof that nothing can stop a runner! Good job on finishing the run and hope you heal quickly.

 Real runners have stories like this to tell! Of falling down and getting right back up. Those scratches and bumps are little badges that represent your hard work and commitment to your new sport! Cool!
Love this! |

Yesterday, I actually thought "oh good, I get to run tomorrow". That is the FIRST TIME EVER that I have had that thought. It's a major breakthrough for me.
This is the type of miracle that running slowly and sensibly can bring about!
eta: That was from runswithdogs, by the way.  |

I just feel good that I started this and that I am trying something completely new and different and challenging - I've always been slightly envious of runners looking all fit and strong, getting that 'runners high' you always hear about, and let's not forget the cool running gear! Somewhere along the way I thought, why CANT I be in that club?

I can't believe I actually ran for 20 minutes and didn't die. For the first time in my entire life I ran a mile without stopping!! The first time in my entire life I can say I ran for 2 miles!!
Mimi73 speaks for lots of us, I think. Who would've thought we would become runners? |

A bad run is better than good sit on the couch.

| I forget who originally coined this one, but I repeated it over and over to myself as I HTFU to finish my first 5K: DLF>DNF>DNS (translation: Dead Last Finish is better than Did not Finish, which is better than Did Not Start). |
2008 Goals:
Complete C25K
Run in a 5K
