    OH WOW that really is great! :smile: :smooched:

    I know how you feel. Little by little I am increasing my 'jog' time at the park. My DH was with me sitting on a bench (dont ask!) and I thought he was going to burst out laughing cuz my name aint Grace if ya know what I mean.

    He gave me a great big hug and told me how proud he was! :love:

    So lets keep running. I will see if I can get up to 5 whole minutes!

    You are doing great! I hate to run, and would probably be flat on my back after a run around the block! Keep it up girl!!:wink:

    That is spectacular!!! I'm only up to 2 minutes straight of running. I can do intervals (walk then run) of one minute and one minute, but I'm still working on the time running straight.

    Great job!

    This is neither a small accomplishment nor anything anyone would find amusing. You're not in a competition with anyone, just to make yourself better, and you're succeeding. Keep up the great work!

    Plus it sounds like you're having fun!!!

    No laughing here!!

    One year ago I could not run for 0.25 mile, but yesterday i ran 5K in 38.5 minutes, ran not walked. It felt great.

    So CONGRATS to you and you WILL get there!
