Okay, this is just one of those things that I literally feel like shouting from the roof tops.
I, Tara, just ran my first mile STRAIGHT! 13 minutes!
:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:
Seriously I am so happy! I went to my normal Zumba class and then afterwards I was like hmm, I feel like running. So I hopped on the treadmill and took off. I kept thinking, "Ya know Tara, a week ago tonight you were laying in a hospital bed, ya really think you can break your running plateau of .75 on a fluke?"
A HA! YES! I think I can! So I did.
) I can run a mile now and I could not be more thrilled! )

Thank you everyone!!! Let me just say, to those who want to do it...you so can. If I can? Come on now...You so SO can..LOL!
BleacherAddict, wannbAhottie...how are you progressing from here? I was so set on hitting a mile I'm not entirely sure what my next goal should be! MiloBloom83, I would love to hear from you on this too! And MASSIVE good luck to you on Sunday! I want to hear about it!!)
Thank you!!) 0 -
CONGRATULATIONS! I know that feeling really well -- I ran my first mile in July and am now training for my first half marathon in January.
Your next goal should be to finish a 5k without walking. It's a little over three miles, but it's totally doable! AND if you sign up for a "race" you get a free t-shirt and get to feel like a badass. Good luck with your goals!0 -
I registered for my first couple races the day I hit my mile. I was so excited. I am running a one mile in December and a 1.4 mile in February. Next goal is to run a 5k in the spring, a 10k in the fall, and a half marathon in 2012 (when I'm 30).
I just got thru registering for the lottery to run the 5k at the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC in April! :happy:
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!0 -
5K for sure! You can sooo do it!
Congratulations!!!!!0 -
Yep, time to train for a 5K now. Way to go!0
-
Okay! Perfect! I'm trying to find one to register for! I'm not sure how quickly I should be pushing myself or if I should just aim for the spring when it will be warmer! lol!!0
-
Way to go!!0
-
high 5! be proud! grin ear to ear! every accomplishment deserves recognition! wtg!0
-
Oh congratulations, how wonderful! I'm planning to do my first 5K's this spring and summer, and have already signed up for a few around the Chicago area. I agree with the other posters who suggested a 5K as a terrific next goal. Keep up the good work!0

Good for you :bigsmile: well done!!0

A mile is a BIG feat! And your lung capacity will get to be more and more. This will help you be faster. Great job! I just cut down my 3 mile time to 35 minutes 30 seconds! Keep up the great work! It will pay off!0
