Ran three miles without stopping last night for the first time in 15-20 years!! It is truly amazing what you can do if you put your mind to it and keep at it...a month ago I attempted jogging and did 1/2 mile and thought I was going to die!! With some help/advise from people on this site this site and some good friends I slowed down and kept at it. Last night my goal was 2.5 miles and I felt good so I kept going to 3!! It took 30 minutes, I had more energy to keep going but had yard duties to do so I stopped at 3.

    Congrats! I hear you, when I began running a couple months ago I couldn't run more than 4 minutes at a time. Last week I ran an entire 5k without walking. It's amazing knowing you can accomplish something that used to seem completely impossible :)
