the4th trying to figure out life

30 seconds 1 week ago

I can run for 30 seconds before my legs start hurting too much to continue.



Untitled 2 months ago

I’ve never been able to run very far at a time… if I do something like play basketbal.. I can run for a long time… I think it’s a psycological thing, but I hope to simply run a mile without stopping very soon.

Intro to run a mile 3 months ago

I’m re-doing all my goals to start smaller.
I want to run but get winded fast – I had a “run 5k” goal but never made it. I’m starting lower with run 1 mile, when I master that I will move on. I have used couch to 5k in the past but didn’t like the music in the podcast.



Question: So where did you do this? 4 months ago

At a gym (I guess I could do that) or outside (and if so where and how did you determine how long a mile was?) I haven’t been training but I am feeling fit so maybe I could do this soon.



Imma go the distance! 4 months ago

I am in crappy shape, so I would like to get fit enough to run a mile.
I think it would make me feel good.

Ran alittle 4 months ago

I ran a very small amount, but fast, to catch the bus! I was able to breathe. I was tired while running, but I actually coudl do it. I did not stop breathing like I had in the past. It was awesome to feel a realtively normal pain from running .

Able to walk now 5 months ago

After about 10 years of smoking about 1 – 1 1/2 packs of cigs a day, I quit smoking. It got to the point in which I was unable to walk a few blocks and not be gasping for air (also just sitting put a great deal of pressure on my heart). However, now that I can breathe will walking I am exicted to try to slowly jog around the block (when illinois weather permits that is)and eventually work up to a full run!



Argh. 6 months ago

This is so not going well. It’s one of last year’s new-years resolutions and I just can’t seem to get there.

harder.

and every couple of weeks I get this happy bouncy “have you run a mile yet??” emails from myself in care of 43 things. argh.
