    It's such a triumph, isn't it? I LOVE the running...but get shin splints that kill me. Hopefully you won't have that same problem!
    Way to go!

    You are all so awesome!:blushing:
    Looks like I have a hanger in my mouth... my smile is that big!:bigsmile:
    I remember an article that I read on runnersworld.com (thanks Bankable!)
    It said to take two steps as you inhale; take two more steps as you exhale ( http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-380-381-386-245-0,00.html )... well, it worked so well!
    I have asthma but it didn't stop me at all today.

    *sigh*

    Hubbz and the girls were with me so I asked hubbz if I looked like a dork running... he said, "nah... you looked a sexy woman out on her run." ...... :blushing: :blushing:

    Anywho.... thank you all for sharing this milestone with me and being such an awesome support for me. :wink:

    That's wonderful Joanna!

    I used to run...I got up to 5 miles and ran an 11 minute mile...that's not a fast time but it still burned a good amount of calories and made me feel so strong...I got a late start in my exercise life and I got my wind and lungs way before I gained the muscles around my knees to protect my joints...You look pretty young so I'm sure you won't have the joint strain that I did.

    I have to tell you though, my legs are better from bellydance than they ever were when I ran...also used to do lots of crunches and all types of ab work but now that I dance, my stomach is in the best shape ever except for pre child birth.
