HUZZAH!!!

Just so you know? If you can keep building on all that pride and excitement you have now, you'll only get faster and go longer. This may sound crazy, but don't be surprised if a day or two after your first marathon, you look back at this post, and think to yourself, "Wow, that was me!!!"

Because at one time, that was me, too.

Pride pride pride pride pride.

Go get 'em, tiger!

I'm with pony65 - joe. He has the right information, but so do the rest of the people who commented. WTG!!! YOU DID A GREAT JOB! I haven't run a mile in over 10 years, and I can't wait until I do.

Awesome!!!!! Go you! I just started working out a few months ago. The first time I jogged an entire mile I thought I was going to cry. I was so proud of myself! It took me 15 minutes the first time, and then I was able to do a mile in about 10 minutes. Now I can run 4 miles in about half an hour! It's an amazing feeling. Every time I pushed myself I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. So I guess what happens next is that you keep surprising yourself! Congrats!!!!!!!

So I finally did it after about a week and half of trying....I actually ran a 15 minute mile! All 220 pounds of me actually moved for 15 minutes straight. The best bit was that I was not winded.

I was in such a high when I knew I was going to make it!

Has anyone had this benchmark recently?

What is some advice you could give?

My next goal is to make it a 12 min mile or less.

The maybe add more distance...(.5 maybe over the next 2 weeks)

Thanks ahead for any support and advice!

Congratulations!! I know that feeling, I completed my first ironman last week. The feeling when I completed a non stop 1 mile run almost a year and a half ago carrying 270 lbs was one of the things I will never forget more memorable than my ironman finish. cherish it!
