Thanks to all the runners! (I hit 10 mi. today!!)

I don't post a lot but I do frequent the boards and read all the runners threads. I wanted to thank you experienced runners that stick around and help all of us beginners out. I can't tell you how many times I found answers to my own questions in your other posts. It has been very helpful.

I finished C25K on 7/04 and kept running every other or every 3rd day. I was a real grind for the first few weeks afterwards. Then I started finding ways to push myself and added mileage as I could. Today I did 10.4 miles!!! And could have gone further but had to get my son to school.

The best part is that my 10th mile was a full minute faster than miles 1-9. It was the first day I felt like I could have run all morning long. I finally felt the runner's high!!!!!!!!!

I really appreciate the participation of the veteran runners that post here, and wanted to give you some of the credit for my big day!

    That is awesome! Congrats! I am fairly new to running too. I caught the runners high the other day as well. It was the best feeling. I do the same thing, look over the boards for tips.
