No comments on Watchmen? C’mon folks! Was there anything else more important than that in Roni’s post?

Still haven’t seen it… :(

Roni, you are such an inspiration! 7 miles at a sub-10 minute pace, with hills?!? you rock!

I ran last night in a tank and it was FABulous! Although I let the coke take hold of me this past weekend and was dehydrated, I limped through the last mile of my run because I knew I’d feel awesome if I didn’t quit! And guess what, I didn’t quit and I DID feel awesome when I got home :)

And so I made a vow that if I’m craving a Vanilla DP or Coke, I’ll go grab a small from Sonic, not a 12 pack from the grocery store.

I am so happy for you with this new milestone! You ask your body to work harder, and it does. That’s pretty great synergy, it seems.

I can’t imagine ever being able to say I ran 7 miles (or 2 for that matter). I was a smoker for years and despite exercising regularly and being pretty fit, running just wasn’t something I could do or enjoyed very much if I tried. Now that it’s been six months since I’ve quit and I’m getting back in shape, you’re inspiring me to consider finally trying to tackle this thing that’s been so intimidating to me for so long!

As a few others have mentioned, I never thought I’d be able to say “I ran X miles”. I had such a hard time moving past 3 miles. But…I have my first half-marathon in 3 weeks. While I normally run my runs, this past weekend I did a run/walk combo (long story…), and in the end, went 15 miles! 15 freakin miles. I still can’t believe that I’m doing this. Nor can I believe that I went that far. But after this weekend, I know (and I believe that) I will be able to finish this race – regardless of how I get to the end! Just keep on going – I find myself saying “You can do anything for 10 more minutes”, and that keeps me going. That, and not worrying about racing up hills – I take them slow, so I can just keep on going…
You can do this – just keep going and believe in yourself, and you will get there!

Hey Roni,

I admire you so much and you have helped me so much over the past two years. I had lost 40lbs up to last fall and with things the way they get, my husband job’s in jeopardy, irs issue, marriage in trouble, I have gained back twenty. I woke up this morning, so depressed, having trouble finding anything to wear to make me feel good about myself. I need to get out and start walking again, but I feel like I don’t even remember how I lost the weight in the first place. I belong to WW but I’ve missed a few weeks it’s hard to go when the scale keeps going up. When I was “on” it was all so easy, just a matter of doing small, right things every day. Now it feels so difficult, but you are an inspiration. Any advice for getting back on the horse and not feeling so bad about my loss of focus? Thank you for everything you do and tell us, even the little things mean alot. I was thinking of getting that Nike thing for walking, what do you think? THanks,

Maureen

Roni, How are lives kind of parallel themselves is just too weird sometimes. I was up later than I would have liked as well and did not get a good sleep. I too did a run but just a 5k (on the treadmill though) and after that took my son bowling, for real. LOL. My path is to train for a 10k and by the end of the year a 10 mile run. I am just not as… “ambitious” as you are… well, not yet at least. ;-)

That is so great that you hit 7 miles, Roni! Before Friday, the longest distance I had run was 6.3miles and it was killer back in November. Since then, I’ve been training and 5 miles has become an “easy” distance for me now. On Friday, my running buddies and I did 11.35 MILES!!! I NEVER in my life thought I would say that I could run/walk 11.35 miles!! It just showed me you can do WHATEVER you put your mind to!! So, Congratulations!! I look forward to watching you go the distance! ;o)
