    Although I am overweight, I am an athletic person and I have always had pretty good endurance... but running was not my forte. It was HARD, so anytime I went out to the track I struggled (mentally), but today I stuck it out and ran 1.04 miles in 10.56 seconds. Yes, I know... it's not the fastest mile, but it's great for me! I'm happy, so I thought I'd share some of my happiness :bigsmile:

    Brilliant! That IS a huge success, well done, girl! You've motivated me to start running again, too! Massive well done :)

    That is hilarious! I didn't realize I didn't include the minutes before the seconds! Ran a mile in 10 minutes and 56 seconds. HAHA

    That's a great success! But you got the units wrong - running a mile in 10 minutes is great, 10 seconds would be "faster than a speeding bullet" - almost!

    Very funny, thank you for pointing that out.. LOL

    Congratulations, every journey starts somewhere. I couldn't walk a mile when I started taking care of myself and I just kept going. 70 pounds later I am soooo glad I didn't quit. You WILL make your goals, just one foot in front of the other...
