    Well done you!! I love running, started two years ago and never thought I'd say that then! I still to this day find the first mile the toughest but once you push past it, it seems to get a bit easier. Have fun.

    Thanks everybody...I didn't know if it was a good time or not. I wanted to make it a 1.5 miles but again those hills got me lol. But I did run it easier then I thought I would...thanks for the encouragement :D

    Just done my run. I can only go at 5mph. That is a very fast time you are doing.

    Thanks...the thing that got me today was the hills...going up hill is not easy...and I'll look into that investment.



    Great job! If you can do that time on hills, imagine what you can do flat! Keep it up!

    As long as you finish, that is the important thing.

    Your first mile was a very very fast pace , I finished my first 5K at 5.2mph ..I wanted to make sure I didn't injure my legs and especially knees. And since then I've worked the speed up over 6mph for 5K
