    I'm definitely in the slow group. I really don't run, I jog. When I started on the treadmill all I could do was walk. Now I walk at 3.7 for 5 minutes and jog 4.5 for 5 minutes- 30 minutes total. I am making progress. Nice to know I am not alone!

    I lovingly refer to my "runs" as a wog!!! I picture myself running so graceful and gazelle-like and then catch a glimpse of my shadow.... lol!!! Quite an eye opener really, but at least we are out there doing something!!!

    oh, me too. i have one race (out of 50ish) that i loved my form... but i was wearing the goofiest outfit (tall pink compression socks, light green capri leggings, dark purple sleeveless shirt, a turquoise jacket around my waist and a blue cooling towel wrapped around my neck). great stride, but i look like a rainbow threw up all over me. lol. the photos where i have the cute matchy, matchy outfits? of course, i look like i'm barely moving. :) oh well. i still take pride in them all.

    I will add myself to the group of slow runners! I am at 13 min per mile or 4.6 mph. My next goal is to get down to 10 min per mile or 6.0mph. For me, it feels good just to say I can run for 25 minutes straight - on the treadmill that is!
