Another NSV for me!

I just ran the 4.35 mile loop around my neighborhood and finished in 36 minutes. Not bad for a 285 pounder. (That's about 20 and a half stones for those of you across the pond!)

(About a month ago, some of you may remember me erroneously reporting a time of 34 minutes for this distance and later appending it to 43 minutes--well this time is official.)

The differences:

I've been running harder lately.
I ran the opposite direction, so I got the big hills out of the way first.
I left the bigger dog at home (She's got to read every pee-mail along the way--I spend a good bit of my runs dragging her.)
I'm probably ten pounds lighter than I was that first time I ran it.
I've got new running shoes!

Awesome! I'm starting to jog again, and it's so difficult at first. Can't wait until I can do that! Great milestone.

That's really impressive!

I've just got to 2.5miles in 28 mins, so have a bit to do to catch up with you!

Love the bit about your dog and the pee-mail reading! Hee hee.

Keep it up, you're doing so well!

Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement, everybody! I'm coming up on two months with MFP and have found all the support really inspiring!
