I hit a milestone today. I was at the gym on the treadmill walking at my usual 4.5 and decided it was time to raise that to 5.5 and try to run. I officially made it my first full mile running. I got off, ran to my hubby, told him I did it and decided I could do it again. So back to the treadmill I went and ran a second mile at 5.7. 3 months ago I tried to run and didnt make it .10 of a mile. I am so proud of myself this morning.

    Way to go!! :flowerforyou:
    I also ran a mile outside today and want to go again to see if I can make it. I really want to run a 5k in about 4 weeks.
    Just goes to prove that we can do anything we put our minds too!!

    Congratulations on this milestone. what an accomplishment to be sure. My treadmill arrived today. I have tried the gym thing and then have two excuses to use.. don't want to go out on snowy cold days, hot humid days, just plain nice days... etc.. plus not really wanting to exercise. So I thought if I bought a treadmill and it was there looking at me then I might just be able to get myself on it.
    Hoping hubby will have it all together for me soon and will be able to have my maiden walk this evening. I now will have a goal....to be in good enough shape to run for 1 mile and still be breathing at the end of it ... some day... like Eyvette1 was able to do.. Thank you for sharing..
