For the first time since I was an athlete in college, I ran over 1 mile today without walking. I did my usualy 5k run/walk but extended the run time. Major accomplishment for me that I had to share, 18 lbs lost but it feels like more than that.:smile:

    Congrats! Thats awesome!

    I've never been able to run a mile straight, but I just started the C25K program & am on week 2. Today will be W2 Day 2 so I'm looking forward to being able to do that myself!

    Keep up the good work!! :bigsmile:

    Awesome, bigtim! That first mile is definitely the hardest... even now that I can run a few at a time. Big hurdle to get through and you ROCKED it!

    awesome job! Making it through that first mile is exhilerating! Now go for 2! Remember though, running can be more mental that physical at times so find some way to distract yourself.
