    Wow awesome! That's quite the accomplishment! The most I've run is 4 miles and I'd love to build up to 7 someday.

    Aww thx guys! That's why I love this site!

    Yeah I'm completely whacked now, but really smiley happy with it!

    Gonna build it up over the summer and am seriously thinking about the 13.1...and I never thought I would be saying that!

    Proud of you! And I can understand - every time I add a half-mile or so I have to share it. It feels so good! Wishing you all the best as you increase your mileage and shoot for 13.1!!

    The half marathon is my best friend's favorite race. I have no idea why. :) But I'd like to find out. Someday.... maybe.

    What a FANTASTIC accomplishment!! You should be proud of yourself!! I recently upped my distance to 4 miles and ran a 10k last week so I understand how exciting it is to meet a goal. Keep it up and I hope to be where you are soon!!

    That is great!!! I'm still working on getting up to 3 miles so I totally appreciate how challenging that must have been. Keep up the great work :)

    Right there with you! I keep trying to run a full 3 miles. I've come to terms that running is not my strong suit, but I will keep trying!!!

    That's great!

    Edited to say I'm proud of you as well. I can't run at all, but I'm up to walking 5 miles :smile:

    I'm not a runner either, but yesterday I walked 8+ miles with my best ever mile split, and yeah, I feel GOOD!

    Congratulations to the OP on the 7-mile run, btw :D

    ...and I feel so proud!!

    But there's no one here with me to share it with, so I thought I'd post it here (pure and simple attention-seeking!).
    Congrats! I'd like to think that the only way I'd run 7 miles is if someone with an axe was chasing me for 6.95 miles.

    Nice work. I am proud of you. Nice NSV. I don't like running that much, but when my legs are healthy I like to run 6 days a week. I love how I feel after a long run. Nice job!! :happy:
