I just got back from running on the treadmill.
I used to be able to run 5+ miles without stopping, no problem.
I did .54 miles and slowed down to walk. 
Sad thing is, I was really proud of myself. haha.
You?
You might also enjoy...

@chopsuey119: we are the same!! I can run about half a mile and then I need to stop for 1-2 minutes, then I can run another .25 miles... BUT to be fair I've NEVER been a runner, I think the furthest I could ever run was maybe a mile? But I never really tried. I wish I was a runner and I wish I could go further.
-
Pre-baby: 13-15 miles when I trained for a half marathon
Post-baby: lol
-
Ummm, not very far at all. Im just beginning training now, and I go 3 miles total, but I jog 2-3 blocks outside then walk 1-2. And repeat!
-
I was trying to get to 5k before I got pregnant. I think I could do about 2.5 km or so. Maybe about 10-15 mins. I can't wait to get back into running but I am going to be so out of shape.
-
@Mrs. Pen: that's really good! you could slowly work your way up to running more. I was so determined to run at least 1, but my old knees started hurting a lot. didn't wanna injure myself so I walked a bit, then started running again! haha. I actually ran another 1/4 mile before I walked again.
@grizz: wow!!
-
like, 30 seconds? so sad.
-
About a mile . . . although it is certainly not nearly as fast as I was pre-pg. The only reason I ran that far is that there was someone else in the gym, and I didn't want them to think I was a wimp. I would have stopped at right around 3/4 of a mile . . . I am jigglier than pre-pg, and running made me feel ridonc and sad.
-
@MsLipGloss: when I run and feel my fat jiggle I feel like it's just being jiggled right off my body hahaha. it works in my head
-
Maybe a block if I was about to miss the bus??
But to be fair, I *am* 9 months pregnant. Even before I'm more of a run/walk person (run 3 min walk 1 or whatever).
@chopsuey119: It's smart that you listened to your knees. You also can develop shin splints really quickly and you'd have to stop for a while for them to heal. Of course, I'm all about "listening to my body" when it means I can stop exercising sooner...
-
@MsLipGloss: haha someone was running next to me and I ran a little longer even though my vag bone started hurting because I didn't want him to think I was a wimp too!
@Mrs. Pen: omg I really enjoy the jiggling feeling for the same reason! -
Right now? Probably 12 miles or so. I've run 26.2 miles without stopping in the past though!
I'm not in that kind of shape at the moment.
-
@MsLipGloss: ah I totally get into competitions with the ppl on the machines next to me!
I think I could run about 3 miles now if I paced myself.
-
@MsLipGloss: @Mrs. Pen: if my Spanxx aren't clean, I can't use the treadmill that day. I can't handle the jiggle.
I can run like a mile? I have always been an interval runner.
I run a mile, walk a min or two, and then go back to running.
I have NEVER been able to just and run and run without breaks.
I feel proud of myself for any time I put in working out -
I can run 5 on a treadmill with at least three trashy magazines to look at and zone out on. But I really have a hard time running outside. This causes me a HUGE problem.
DH is graduating from the sheriff's academy in a couple of weeks and he has some kind of "hot dog run" (sounds lame) that is like a 5K and the families and whoever can run behind them. The guys run about an 8 minute mile. I would fall out of formation pronto! I thought about taking a leave of absence from work to try to get my a** into gear. But basically, I just don't want to run in it. Can't I just stand on the sidelines and wave a flag or something? Thanks for listening... pitty party over.
-
@grizz: I was training for a marathon when I started law school . . . I never finished my training though (school just took over). I think my average long run was 12ish miles? It didn't take long to realize that that kind of mileage (I was averaging 30-40 miles a week)can take a toll on your body!
-
I just started, so I'm at 5 minutes before I have to walk. I do a run/walk thing right per my trainer.
-
A couple months ago I had worked my way up to 4.5 miles...and I was NOT a runner. Since the summer though, I've fallen off the wagon and haven't ran in about 6 weeks. It's just too hot outside!
-
i hate running!!! but when i'm in shape i can run for an hour easily -- runner's high! not sure the distance, but i keep a steady pace the entire time.
unfortunately i'm almost always out of shape. i did run recently when i was late meeting some friends -- made it 4 blocks!
-
Well I ran 3 today, so at least that much! I've been trying to get back into running lately, but it's hard b/c usually I have to run with the jogging stroller.
-
haha... running...
I think at the moment I could make it maybe 100 meters if I really had to... but I'm 38 weeks pregnant.
But before I got pregnant, I could easily run a 10k straight.
-
Probably a few minutes? I can't even use being pregnant as my excuse. I have never, ever been a runner. I was a dancer and my knees are just not cut out for running. Heaven help me if I ever have to outrun someone trying to do me harm!
-
I did 6.3 miles today without feeling tired at all! The beginning of June, I could barely run a full mile...which is sad because I use to be a great runner.
-
pre preg I was doing C 2 5K to try get fit. I got to the point where I was doing 5 min run, 2.5 min break, 8 min run, 3 min break, 5 min run. something like that at least. I promptly got shin splints and didn't run again for a week then found out I was pregnant, which was a nice excuse to not run again
I'm not in that kind of shape at the moment.
