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.

    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.

    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!!
