Smile I have done it!

Finally, I am prepared to say I run.

When I started on the 5th April I was 18st 4 with an ideal weight of around 14st.

I managed 20 min on the Eliptical trainer and 30min walk on the treadmill.

Then I found this site and read about runwalking so at weekends I added 1min run/1min walk for 30 mins to the above.

Today I weigh 17st 4!

I did 30min on the trainer at level 3 of 5, a 30min walk/incline program on the trainer and for the first time I ran continually for 30 mins at 5 mph. I even managed to up the pace to 6.2 for the last 2 mins.

Suffice to say I am over the moon.

Giles

Thanks for the support folks.

I am so pleased I am tempted to do another session this evening, but I keep berating Mrs Hrun for overdoing it as I need recovery time ready for tomorrow.

Addictive this exercise thing

Yeah, well done Giles, but with all the exercise you're doing the only way will be down (weight wise)!

Funny thing is the weight loss was a given to me.. Eat less crap + do more = Downsizing

The bit that has astounded me most was the fact that I ran non stop for 1/2 an hour. When I started I could not imagine running at all and it was as much as I could do to complete the treadmill session walking without a break.

But here I am, a runner :eek:
