You guys are so awesome that I feel stupid reporting my measley 2 mile slow jogs

I want to be like you guys when I grow up and jog 4 to 6 miles!:sad:

I am a new jogger. I started last year. I jogged those same "measley 2 mile slow jogs". Run consistently and you will get better. I promise.:flowerforyou:

-Kechie.

I am so proud of you for getting out there and putting one foot in front of the other.:smooched:

Thank you! I just really started doing this a couple of months ago but I wasn't really consistant until a couple of weeks ago. I started with only being able to jog for 5 minutes straight to 25 minutes straight without stopping. I love it.

I love the feeling I have when i'm jogging, it's like a certain feeling of power. I am really hoping that I can become better and stronger. My body even feels different after jogging!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Wow, everyone had great runs today. We finally had our Coyote Challenge 10k at work this morning. Well, actually we ended up doing a 10.7k (6.7 miles) We ended up with 10 people doing it. I didn't beat any of the guys, but I didn't expect to! My goal was to do it in less than 90 minutes and I ended up at 84:50. I was happy with that. Hope everyone had a great day. I am going to help my daughter make ice cream in her new ice cream maker... I bought ff half and half so it shouldn't be unhealthy.

Talk to you all later.

I rested today; however, I did go on a walking tour for an hour and a half in the sultry weather.

Got in from running about 2 hours ago. We got lucky and had a neighbor keep the kids so I didn't have to go alone. No ipod just yet, so runs alone are so much harder! That combined with the fact that my husband is so motivating. I ran about twice the distance I had planned just because we played a little game similar to name that tune. I started off saying "I can keep running to the stop sign" and he answered back with "well I can make it to the light pole" and so on. I hate to lose, so I love the competition! We got in 2 miles, with minimal walking. Not too bad since I'm still working my way up! Congrats to everyone and all those miles logged today!

Hi everyone,
just got back from a walk/run with a friend I made at running club. We went for 45 minutes - I don't know how far! My knee and shins are sore tonight and I'm not sure why. We had to run on a different gravely surface last two times. I wonder if that is it. Hope I can do the long run on Saturday.

I'm so glad that there are other "newbies" on this post. I love seeing how far everyone has come and it is inspiring to me that if we just stay with it we can do it!@
