I FINALLY jogged my first mile!

In my mind jogging = running. The motion is the same, it's only a difference in speed and there's no pre-determined speed where you suddenly qualify as a runner.

You just ran a mile.

That's an excellent achievement - well done!

As for the concerns mentioned about injury, keep your steps relatively short, try to land gently. ka97's advice is good too, if you enjoy it, keep doing it!

Congratulations on reaching a big milestone!

I even googled jogging and running because I was like "huh?"

I recommend trying to increase milage instead of increasing speed. My reasoning is that runners high. Seriously, after it kicks in there is nothing like it.

Oh my goood, I wonder what runners high is like and thank you! Your encouragement brought me joy.

So endurance > speed in the long run?

YES on the runner's high! After you get a little further distance, you will usually have a bit of a hard time breathing but then you will break into your pace and find your groove and kick *kitten*. Thats the beginning of runner's high and then knowing how far you went, how quickly, FEELS AMAZING! Great job on a mile!

Increased endurance will lead to an increase in speed.
