It is possible, and good for you on setting yourself a goal of your local 5K. That is something I haven't the courage to do I'm afraid.
Best of Luck to you.
B-I-B
Do not worry.
Because of injury I haven't done any proper running for about 4 years and because of it have put on a lot of weight!
Soon I will start running again in my larger state!
At the end of the day you are out there, doing it, not sitting on the sofa, watching telly and thinking about doing it.
I know which one I would rather be! I always think of Rik Waller for my inspiration!

i do feel sad about the lost runners

NUTTER:))))))))))
Let me know if you find any decent gear for the larger, lady runner.
Just to up date you all - I still run and I have stayed with my running group - and I go twice a week (just to annoy them all!) I have lost approx 2 stone and I have also lost about 4 inches off my flabby bits (I still have a few left alas!) I can run for an hour without stopping and, last week I was NOT the last person back on our jog (don't faint!) I have entered myself in the RFL 4th July and I am hoping to do something in September as well (if I can get a jogging partner). So, I have not disappeared yet and I feel great. I say to anyone out there - do it and enjoy it. I am still not into my sexy small shorts yet but I can dream. Cheers! Sally
PS - Rik Waller is the reason why I run!!!
fandabbidozi!
i so hate it when new peeps disappear
get postig on here lass, weve missed ya
Sounds like you're doing fantastically!
scurrying off to find some false tan.....
View from, at M and S arent bad
I'd be up for that!
It's nice to know not everyone is slim in the world of running, I really thought my size would stop me running more than a mile. Ok i'm only up to 3 but that is in 6 weeks !
I'll have a look at that site sounds cool.
i'm off to try......... watch this space!
see you there!
Rik Waller was also the reason I used to make myself get out and run.
Currently watching The Fit Farm on Ch4, now what is all that about???
Kepp going Sally and keep looking at what you have acheived over the last year!
Well done girl,
Regards,

I am a big girl at size 22 and would love to get back down to a size 18 and I thought this would be great for loosing weight. I have started my training but I am finding my legs really feel the burn in the calfes.
My partner is training and helping me to train and he's even got to the point where I want to quit, and he is shouting profanities at me just to make sure that I am finishing my training session. I still feel that my weight is still not going anywhere even though I am on the Slimfast plan.
Please help need support so I can achieve my goal.
thanks
need help
go to URWFRC and you will find us!
good luck!

My aim is to run a 10k next year, but my ultimate aim is to do a marathon, but I know that's a long way off yet.
Are there any overweight runners who have joined running clubs in London? I still feel too intimidated to join one, but I would really love to.
