jhawkchick75 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 It's been a long time coming but I finally have another NSV!! This weekend I ran in the St. Patrick's Day run in Saint Louis. It was a 5 mile run and I did it w/o stopping and actually bettered my time from the 4 mile run I did in Sept. Legs are a little sore today, but otherwise feel great! As we ran we talked about all i've been through and laughed that a year or two ago this wouldn't have even been a thought for me. I used to joke the only way i'd run is if someone was chasing me with a knife! We are also going to look into seeing if there are any runs this summer up north like in Milwaukee or Minneapolis where it won't be so hot. Hoping to find a 10k. This weather getting nicer is helping me get more motivated to work out and hopefully it will do the same for you all. I am so close to 70lbs lost I can taste it which will also put me in the 130's so i'm aiming for that in the next couple weeks. Hope you all had a great weekend!!

BrownEyedGirl Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I don't know what a NSV is but CONGRATS! Where's the smilie with the party hat? *<{:-) Close enough. I've always said I couldn't run even to save my life. I'd be the one in the scary movie that goes first. I really hope someday I can follow in your foot steps. I've broken both legs and ankles and haven't run since because that's when the weight started piling on. Congrats on a great accomplishment. It's awesome hearing things like this or Debbie's mountain climbing! You guys rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janellody Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 NSV = Non-scale victory Good job, I hate running so I just can't imagine ever wanting to do that, but maybe someday... I have to figure out how I am going to get myself to exercise first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 congratulations! that's awesome. I've always wanted to be able to run in a marathon - not to win but to complete one. You're setting the example and it's definitely going to be one of my goals in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhawkchick75 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Thanks so much everyone it means a lot!!! Now, i'm not gonna lie I don't totally love running, but it gives me a new challenge and it does feel really good when you are done. For those interested I did the couch to 5K program and it is a really easy way to get you going! http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml To help get the weight off at first I did Zumba and I am hooked on that! I haven't done it as much lately b/c of training for races, but will get back to it soon. It's great cardio and you burn a lot of calories!!!!

robbynnoel Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 ((((((((((((((((((Shelby))))))))))))))))))) I am so proud of you! How did you start running? Was it always something you enjoyed or did you start to train after becoming one of us banditos? xo It's been a long time coming but I finally have another NSV!!
