I hope you don't mind me posting

I started this journey around Christmas last year. I knew I was in for the long haul and stuck with it. 40lb down and I'm so very close to my goal weight...but that isn't it...

Treadmills have always fascinated me but I've never had the stamina. 3 months I go I started on cross trainers and gradually moved over to treadmills. Back then I could barely run 1k. I've stuck with it and you'll find me on the treadmill 5 days a week.

This evening I ran for a full hour without stopping for a total distance of 9k. This has SMASHED my previous record of 45 minutes and 6k.

Running for a full 60 minutes has been my BIGGEST goal since I started this last year and tonight I did it... Wow I'm seriously happy

:laugh:

Now to set a new goal

Wahoo! Good for you. I like running on the treadmill too. 9K is awesome! Pretty soon it's going to be 10K and so on. Congratulations.

Well all that comes to mind to say is AWESOME!!!! You should be seriously happy! I would have done a backflip or at least danced around crazily. LoL! Seriously though that's fantastic!! What's the next goal??

And by the way, You are extremely good looking (assuming that's you in the pic)

Best of luck reaching that goal that's ever so close!

Wow thanks for all your kind words :laugh:

Yup that's me taken last week

I would have done a backflip but my legs were a little achy after that hehehe.

I think my next goal is to run 10k in under an hour. I am so hooked on the running high afterwards... it's scary lol :laugh:

I am so happy :D
