My first mile!

rissadiane

So today, I jogged my first mile ever in my life! It wasn't fast (4mph, 15min mile) but I did it! I've never been able to jog longer than maybe 5 minutes on a good day, but after a long day at work on my feet, I did it I did it!! :happy: :happy:

That's great I recently started run/walk/jogging trying for a 5k in Dec. It is a great feeling. I try to tell myself it is only a little futher and it will be over and the the next thing you know you have done it. Keep up the good work.

I totally remember the first time I did it a couple years ago.........Than half jogged and walked to get home as fast as I could to tell my husband! Great accomplishment! If you can do 1, 2 is sure to follow soon.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Thanks everyone! I'm actually working towards during Race for the Cure in March, among other 5ks throughout next year. It just amazes me to feel the difference in my body from when I first started! I can't wait until it starts to show physically.

this makes me so happy to see this! great job! This time last year I couldn't even jog that pace for 30 seconds....and now i'm going on a 10 mile run tomorrow...its all possible and great work!

That motivates me like no other! There are so many times when I have to tell that little (fat) voice in my head that's like "slow down, stop, I'm tired" and then I keep going and it feels fantastic! I can't wait to do 10 miles (at a run even!)

Woop woop!! Fantastic! Well done! It was only this summer that I started running using C25K and then B210K and I am running nearly 5 miles now, not easily, admittedly, but still, I'm doing it!!

Honestly that C25K program worked wonders. There was one time right in the middle of it that I had the most fierce mental battle of my life I think. It was the first time I had to run 2 miles straight, the the way the program had been going before that you never really ran more than 3/4 of a mile at once without having a bit of a walking break in there. It was so so so so hard to break that barrier but ever since doing that running became a whole lot easier. I swear its all about beating up that voice inside your head!

Congrats!!! I know what an accomplishment this is. I started at 225lb and couldn't run 2 minutes. I just completed my 6th marathon. So just be aware the success is addictive and so are running those races. Again great job and keep up all the hard work.

I think I can handle that addiction!
