    Great Job!!! Your moving and that is great. I haven't been diagnosed with anything other than being obese and when I started I could only jog for 2 minutes. But then I pushed a little more and it was 5 and then 8 and now I can job for 23 minutes straight, which is a great accomplishment for me. It doesn't matter what other people can do, as long as you are moving, building a sweat, getting your heart rate up, you are better off then not doing anything. Keep it up!!!

    Not pathetic at all. Any minor progress is still progress. I get all giddy when I can do one more pushup from week to week. It's a huge mental accomplishment for you! Try a minute progress every other day and before you know it you're running a marathon.

    There is nothing pathetic about that! That is longer than I could run.
    I have the C25K app on my phone, but haven't completed it. I only got to the start of week 2 (because I was too lazy to keep trying to run).

    You have inspired me to start it again.

    Good on you, it is such an exilerating feeling when you do something you thought you could not do. I have never been able to run, but did a few weeks back and hope to be able to do it more. Congrats!!!!

    And how long was the Wright Brothers' first flight? I think it was about the same time and look what that led to.

    Congratulations on your milestone!

    Back in the day when I was a runner, that's how I began, one minute, then two, then...well you get the point, until I was doing marathons and triathlons. Not saying this is your goal, just that you shouldn't feel sad that over 2 minutes, feel victorious!!

    I am scared of running outdoors (I run in place when I work out) but a friend of mine asked me to do a 5K with her this fall. That's my new goal! You've given me inspriration!
