I just ran a mile!!!!! I know that for many this may be a drop in the bucket, but for me this is HUGE! Last year at this time I was on week 3 or 4 of C25K and running 3 mins was Hard for me. I haven't ran a mile since High School... (plus I usually cheated by walking spurts) More NSV for me, I have lost 2 inches on my waist, .5 inches on my neck and 1.5 inches on my hips.. Gooo me, and Goooooo you!

    ::::::Proud Little Smirk::::: This probably shouldn't be such a big deal... But for me it is... I am 210 (last time I weighed in), and other then the last 2 weeks, I haven't worked out in a year.

    You go girl! I have trouble walking a mile these days. But I am working on changing that. Thanks for being a good example.

    That is so great!! I look forward to the day I can run a mile. I just recently started this & it takes me 15 min to walk/jog a mile!!! I have a lot of work to do to be able to run a mile-you deserve to be proud!! I would be!
