NSV-Small to some but massive to me!!!

Ok so I've never been a runner/jogger and normally on a good day I could jog for MAYBE a min if i was really lucky a minute and a half (always done in 1min intervals). Today at the gym it was just me so i thought ok let's do this. I jogged my first 1min interval no problem at all got ready for the next one passed with flying colors and still feeling fine, Lets try for the third (now you should know I had my MP3 going) I'm really wrapped up in the song that's playing not watching my minute go by like normal and I jog for 2mins straight! I feel good!!! Ok I tell myself with the time left I can squeeze in one more interval and I just did a two min jog so......lets do it again!!!!! So again I know it may seem small to some but this is a MAJOR victory for me 6mins of jogging (granted not all at once) at 4mph (maybe this is a brisk walk to some but it's jogging to me) when I use to die trying to do just 1min. I've got to yell it out...............
I FREAKING ROCK!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!! :bigsmile:

Yay, thats how I started! Now I can jog 8 minutes and then make a 2min brisk walking break and go like this for several miles!
You will be amazed at each progress, good luck fellow runner!
You can add me as a friend for mutual motivation, if you wish;)

That is a great milestone. That's how I started out on my treadmill and felt the exact same way you did.

Congrats!

You do FREAKING ROCK! That's awesome! I was the same way. Started at 60 seconds at a time and made it to 90 and I thought I was going to die.. I felt like it was a miracle when I made it 7 whole minutes... very slow, mind you but 7 minutes none the less! I think you're doing great!
