Awesome... keep it up and you'll get even better times!!
I am starting to discover the same thing. I could barely run a minute before having to stop since I was totally winded and a few weeks in and I'm slowing improving that. And I found out that I LOVE it!! Love the feeling after a few miles!

That's awesome!!!! I want to run too but afraid too.... I am hoping to get there!!!

I did the same thing about a year or so ago. I was told to slow down so I could get to a mile, and it worked. Even after knee surgery 4 months ago, I am now able to run 3 miles.
If you need any running advice let me know. I have runner friends all around supporting me!

Thats excellent! Way to go!!

That is fantastic!!! Keep it up. I have asthma and on a whim decided I was going to jog longer than the usually 5 minutes intervals I usually do and I went for a full 30 minutes! I couldn't believe it. And since discovering that I actually could go that long I have tried to do it at least 2-3 times a week in hopes that someday I will be able to run 5k's or longer. You should feel so proud!!!

That's awesome! That's a great way to work your way up.

Yeah, tonight was great. I had only been getting to 3 minutes before I couldn't go any longer, but then tonight at 3 minutes I felt great, so I aimed for 5. I alternate run/walk. After 30 minutes of alternating I just felt great, so I decided to go for an hour. That last 5 min run was tough, but I held on til the end! Happy girl.

That's excellent! I also started running about 2 months ago. I always hated running. In school I always walked the mile instead of run. Now I find that I actually look forward to it and that it makes my day so much better. Keep up the good work!

Awesome!! It's a great feeling seeing how you've improved.

That is awesome! That is how I started four years ago. It just takes baby steps and they lead into more. I never thought I could run more than a 5k. I have ran many half marathons and a few full marathons. It started with just running 5 minutes at a time. Great job.

Way to go! Just wanted to let you know that your post is truly motivating to me. I just started and can't run at all. I thought my 3 min run this morning was going to kill me. Your success is wonderful and inspiring.

It makes me even happier to know that I have inspired or motivated even one person! If I can do it, so can you!

Go you! I'm working on it. I only started Monday though. Never thought I'd try running but I'm damn tired of being fat.
