Comments on: Why I Want to Start Running http://www.fit36.com/archives/why-start-running/ health - fitness - weight loss Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:28:21 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Jess http://www.fit36.com/archives/why-start-running/comment-page-1/#comment-202 Jess Tue, 23 Mar 2010 06:25:22 +0000 http://www.fit36.com/?p=407#comment-202 I didn't realize how much I enjoy/feel accomplished when I run until I started doing it. And yes, I'm still in pain and tired after every long run, but it's worth it. And races - marathons, 5Ks, 10Ks - they give you something to work for. Sure, losing weight is nice, but getting that certificate saying you finished an insane amount of mileage, now that's awesome. Running is a huge mind over matter/body sport. Most of the time, if I convince myself my legs are tired, I just stop. But if I press on and say screw you legs, then I come out victorious. I think it's great you're starting C25K. Craig @ http://craigversion2.wordpress.com/ just started it as well with a few buddies so if you need an accountability partner, hit him up. And, don't sell yourself short. You might THINK it will take you a long time to catch up to your wife's endurance, but your body is a lot faster/stronger than you think. Keep it up!
