My first NSV

Walked my first 5k this morning! I did run a little bit of it. My daughter walked with me and we would do bursts of 45-60 second runs every once in a while (probably about 10 times throughout the whole thing). It was so fun! My goal is to run one before the end of the year. :)

    That's fantastic! I'm doing 2-3 mile walks. I'm hoping someday I can do a run! Good luck and keep it up!

    That is so awesome! My daughter does Girls on the Run at school. They run twice a week and are taught healthy eating habits. In May they run a 5K and I've signed up to do it with her. I'm sure I'll be mostly walking but just completing it will be success for me! :)

    Great NSV and congratulations!! BTW - I was where you are at about 11 months ago and can now jog/run 3 miles. I did in small steps. Also, you may look at the couch to 5k program (C25k). It has guided many people.
