Ok so maybe it was more of a jog, but i did this for a full minute! I couldnt believe i was doing it and even when the minute passed I was in shock! I do a lot of walking and have been "jogging" on the elliptical but had never attempted it on the treadmill. I am so proud! I think its time to try the couch2to5k :)

    Amazing!!! Keep it up!!! I had never been able to run more than half a couple minutes before I decided to really get into it about a month and a half ago. I decided I would take my crazy running co-worker up on his offer to help... that first day he made me run for 35-40 minutes straight (there was a lot of whining involved, full disclosure)!! Going from 3 minutes to that was so shocking.

    Just keep pushing yourself girlfriend and you'll be there before you know it!! I'd never run a mile before that day either and I did 3!! Your body is amazing, it's a gift and it will surprise you with what it is capable of... so much of it is our mind getting in the way of our own excellence!! Again, congratulations, keep with it, don't get burned out and good luck!!! :):)

    Flock of Seagulls? (but seriously, that's great...a little at a time and small increases and you'll be running miles before you know it!)

    Fantastic job! It's great when you realise that yes, you can do this!

    I'm in Week 3 of C25K and I'm loving it - even getting out of bed early to go for my morning jog (this is unheard of)... I hope you have as much fun with it as I have.
