I found a running app that changes the beats per minute in your playlist to match the pace of your run. So today I set my time for 60 minutes (a new timeframe for me) and jumped on the treadmill and got to it.
And you know what I did? I RAN FIVE MILES! I've never run that far before. Ever. Not even with taking walking breaks.
But I did it. 55 minutes. I never considered myself a runner - I guess now I am.
And now I can go to bed knowing that I can do hard things.

    That's a great story and you must feel amazing. Accomplishment, noting like it.
    Long ago, years, I was into some running; some weeks I did 3 miles a day for a while, not too long, usually like 2 miles a day. Then I stopped. I would love to be b ack there, but so far from it, it would probably take years. Anyway, not about me, you did GREAT!

    Thanks for sharing. It's little tips like this that we need to hear to keep each other motivated! I haven't run in 30 years. I too have started running on the treadmill. One step at at time. Do it again!
