November 2024, I couldn't jog for 30 seconds without being out of breath and in pain . . . today though - I jogged for 20 minutes straight !
November 4, 2024 - I was 206 lbs., and was out of breath with side stitches and shin splits after jogging for 30 seconds.
It was awful, and embarrassing.
But I stuck with it.
I worked on my breathing, replaced my shoes, and slowed down. I kept with the None-To-Run program, repeating days or weeks here and there as I needed to for my body or my schedule.
January 27, 2025 - I am 182 lbs., and today I jogged for 20 minutes straight without stopping to walk at all.
I will be turning 48 in just over a week, and I haven't run/jogged for that long in DECADES !
NOW - that said, I think an arthritic turtle could have blown past me (my treadmill was set at 3.4mph) - and I will eventually work on that, but for today - I am PROUD !!
