Sorry you guys but I just had to toot my own horn just one time :bigsmile:

I haven't ran a mile in 5 years...and I did it today! Wasn't planning on it, it just sorta happened. It was an 11 minute mile, and I want to run a 10 minute mile eventually (I've nevvvvver done this). Woohoo for getting fit!

Congratulations!!! You just reached my personal goal (to finish a mile, though mine is at any speed, haha!)

Can I ask how long it took you to get there?? It's taken me just about 4 weeks to get to half a mile, I'm wondering if the same "pace" can be expected or if maybe I'll get there sooner. :happy:

Thanks guys!!!!! :bigsmile:

Well I've been doing the elliptical for about a month 6x a week. It definitely got my endurance up...at first I could barely finish 30 mins without dying. I started at 30 mins, then 45, now 60. Just started trying to run this week and I ran for 5 mins the first day, 6 mins the next day, and I was going for 7 today, but it turned into 11! I did it after the elliptical so my heart rate was up--I think that made it easier.

OR

It could be the new pair of biker shorts I wore today

CONGRATS!! Im so jealous! I just started to be able to"jog" for 3 minutes....NOT 3 MILES...just minutes.

So sad, but I will eventually get there. (hopefully) GOOD FOR YOU!!
