Today, I ran a mile in a solid even 12 minutes. First time ever! Feeling pretty good, considering 5 months ago i couldn't even run a mile.

    I'm happy for you! I just hit the same milestone about a week ago. I can actually jog an entire mile on the road without stopping! It takes me about 12 minutes, but I will continue to improve and so will you, I'm sure! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    AWESOME JOB!!! LOVE THE FEELING YOU GET!!! remember it, it will drive you to get faster and go longer. :drinker:
  • oh CONGRATS! the best thing about running is that the more you do it, you can actually see and feel your improvement. Wait till you hit 10 and 8 minute miles. It'll be the best feeling in the world. :)
