First let me just start off by saying how emotional I feel right now. My life is revolved around charity. I work in nonprofit, helped nonprofits from age 21 on, and have been a big competitor and fundraiser for gaming nonprofits, but before today, before last July, I thought I would never be strong enough, or athletic enough, to do a 5k.
I always did online streaming fundraisers and never participated in 5ks, even though that was something everyone I knew tried to get me into.
I started my weight loss about 9 months ago. I (35, M) was close to 250 and now I'm sitting at 207.
I kept working out at minimum 3 times a week, I ran as much as I could every week, but it didn't start easy. I could only walk when I started last July. Walking turned to fast walking, then to longer distances, and finally I committed to joining a gym and using couch to 5k.
I took videos of my after workout almost each week to keep me on track, and months later I was outside running miles per session.
Thanks for anyone on here that gave me some tips or pointers leading me here. I have a new goal and that's a 10k. But more 5ks will be sure to come. If you are also trying to fo your 5k, the strength to do so WILL come, just be patient and never skip a week!
Hazzah!
