I did, I did!!
Bright and early this morning, I started my run at 6:00am. I jogged...not fast...I'm sure I could have walked faster than I jogged...but I jogged. The voice on the app came on and said "You're done! Walk" (for the 5 minute cooldown), but I kept running. I ran 3.25 miles in 50 minutes. Definitely not the 10min/mile, but good enough in my book.

I freakin' did it. 60 seconds straight of running was tough when I started, and I ran for 50 full minutes this morning!

To say that I'm high, and proud of myself is a serious understatement.

First 5K is in 12 days.

Woot! Woot!!

If I can do this, ANYONE can!
So, if you're just starting out....keep at it. It's so worthwhile!!

Happy Tuesday!

    Congrats ... that is just fantastic.
    I am a slow jogger too.... I call it a "woggle"... somewhere between a walk and a a jog.
    I am in week 8 and struggle to go the whole 28 minutes. So repeating the days.

    YUP... keep going everyone !!!
