Motivation from strangers

[Trying2run]

I lived near a really huge work place and run past it on my route. I am really grateful that I run past others walking by.

I am really overweight and puff and pant (I’m only on w3) so must look a dreadful sight. But, LOTS of people round about smile at me (like their proud) and it really spurs me on.

Others who do nothing are just as helpful because I think to myself “still doing more than you pal!” Ha ha. God the thinks you think about when you run.

Also, ran for the 3 minutes needed in w3 and didn’t die!!! Yippee.

And so many are terrified of what others will think of them.

Your post proves that most people actually admire somebody who gets off their backside and actually does something positive about their health.

Very well done.

If you are puffing and panting you are going too fast, even if you think you are really slow.

Keep running, keep smiling.

That's so great to hear! If I had to run your route I wouldn't have even started c25k but you are using it to motivate you... With an attitude like that you are destined for success! Plus it's nice to know that people want you to succeed - not including us lot on here - that's a given! Good luck as you progress.
