NSV-Jogged a mile!

After Zumba today I was curious to see if I could jog 10 minutes on the treadmill without stopping. I reached 10 minutes but I didn't stop there. I noticed that I was at 0.75 of a mile so I figured I should finish up the mile and I did! I was so unbelievably happy and of course the movie that was showing in the movie room started playing inspirational music as soon as I finished. I wanted to start tearing up but I didn't, I'm not the crying type. I was so happy because I would have been lucky to do 60-120 seconds of jogging. If only I could have done this well back in high school when I was forced to do the mile. It took me 20-something minutes to finish a mile back then (most of it was just walking because I couldn't jog) now it only takes me 13. Anyways I only started jogging a week ago and it wasn't my favorite part of the day. After I finished today I felt like I was on cloud 9, I felt weightless and amazing! I can't wait till tomorrow. I jog at a park near by and the trail is sort of mountainous, so I do really well jogging up until I hit those pesky hills. So that is my next goal to be able to tackle those hills.
