One mile NSV

A while back I started calorie counting and that didn't last too long. Well, I'm back. I haven't been counting my calories so much, but I have been paying more attention to what I've been putting into my body. I've also started running. My girlfriend and I started walking and about three weeks ago we got new shoes and started running. I never thought that I would enjoy running but last week I was able to make it to the 1/2 mile mark and was thrilled. That was the farthest I had ever been able to run and this week I was able to push to a mile. Two days in a row this week I've ran for one mile. I forgot to start the timer but I looked at my phone as I started and was able to do it in 10-11 minutes. It hasn't been easy but every time I see a 1/4 mile mark it pushes me to the next. I'm taking today off but I'll be back at it tomorrow. Who knows, maybe I'll be ready for a 5k by the end of the year after all.
