Ran my first non-stop mile I have ever ran in my life!

I am 35 years old and 25 pounds down. I have really been working hard and getting in shape for the last three months. I do 60 min on the treadmill, weight routine, followed by 20 min cool down on a exercise bike 3 days a week. (try to do some sort of cardio on off days but am not always regular). I had really bad asthma as a child and have always been at a unhealthy weight. while on the treadmill today, I felt like I was not pushing myself hard enough and decided to jog. I ended up running at 5.5mph for just over one mile. (just over 8 min). This is the first time in my whole life I have ever been able to run a mile without stopping. I have never been so proud of myself. Thank you MFP for being such a great help!

That's awesome - it's great how we can still surprise ourselves, with what we are ACTUALLY capable of. Soon you will be running many miles - well done
