I run more each day!

I have lost almost 50 lbs and I never thought I would see the day that I could actually run! I used to run as a kid (from K-11th grade) and as soon as I stopped running, the weight came..then I had kids..well, you all know the story..I won't lie and say I can run a mile straight but I sure can run for a few minutes at the most!! I know I'll get to that mile sooner or later..

    I started running just a couple of years back and never thought I would go beyond a few mins. Today I can run quite a few Kms that too off the treadmill :):flowerforyou: . If I can I am sure you can too. It also gives me a sense of goal accomplished. Go for it.

    Yeah! Great job. I was never a runner - not in my whole life. I started C25K a couple years ago. Yesterday I ran 10 miles! You can do this. Just be wise about increasing your miles.
