Today, I ran a mile without stopping in 12:20!! I am so ecstatic because thinking back to last year, I struggled to do a mile in 30. Then it was 20. Then for a long time, 18. I feel so great after my runs and the fact that I can hold a run longer and longer is just awesome! 
I haven't felt so positive and just overall happy since I can remember! YAY!!

Yep and I am constantly been setting myself goals for my runs. I am pushing for that 12 minute mile now. But soon I am going to work on 2+ miles. I have already done 3 5k's and got another one on the 23rd of this month. I am LOVING running and glad I am finally able to do it decently and my shins splints are bothering me anymore. It's awesome!0 -
Nice job! Just keep pushing yourself like you have been and you can be who you want to be!0

Thank you! ^_^0 -
let me say that i Hate to run. i have never liked it. the pain in my bones has always turned me off from it. that said I am now learning how to run. i have learned how to breath better and the pain is almost non existent. i was never taught how to correctly run and i have been killing myself every time i ran. i am just starting to learn and i have gotten rid of shin splints with proper foot landing practice and i am starting to think that one day i may even be able to enjoy running.0

Good for you! You are so lucky, with my knees, I can't even 10 yards.0 -
Hey, I was impressed when you said "Today I ran a mile without stopping".... :flowerforyou:
I used to joke and say "I don't do run", but now, when I walk, I find myself wishing I could. I do my little awkward version of it once in awhile (and try to tell myself I'm doing it in intervals, LOL), but I'm envious of those who can run. Congratulations!! :flowerforyou:0 -
Congratulations - what a great NSV!! I love that even as you're celebrating this win, you've already set your sights higher.
Keep up the great work & congrats again.
