NSV!

I am so excited!!!!! I started running on the trails in my area in September. Now, I did an Xbox thing where I ran in place but running on the ground is a HUGE deal for me! Well, I set my October goal to run one mile. So, I did that. The next day, I ran 3. Today, I RAN FIVE MILES! OMG!!! I am somebody who used to say I'd NEVER run anywhere--not even to Nordstrom for free shoes. I am so proud of myself. It was slow and I'm not the best runner because I am new but I DID IT! I am proof that if you really put your mind to it, you CAN do it!!! Thanks for letting me post my little NSV...

Thanks!! I do a game called Zombies, Run! on my iPhone and I have it set to tell me when I reach the next mile and it tells my time. I love hearing that "one mile" and then "two miles".....when it said "five miles" I almost cried. Running rocks. I fell off the wagon this summer mainly because the kids were home all day and it's hard to find time to work out, etc..well, since I've started running in September, I've lost 10 pounds. My goal is to be down 40 by Thanksgiving. I might not hit it but I will be thinner than I was this summer....
