First 10k!!!

Hey! I run my first 10k next month, so I ran 7 miles today to see if I could do it and I did!!! I used to hate running, so this is a big feat for me. Now I absolutely love it! It feels great! :D

    I've been working at it for almost a year, but I know I could have done it a lot sooner. I started running for just 10 or 15 min, and after about 6 months I worked up to running at least 4 miles 5 or so days a week. Its totally doable, even if its just 2 or 3 times a week. Starting out small is the key, I found. :)
