Well folks I did it! I finally ran/jogged 3 miles for the very first time today. I took one 2 minute break to stretch and drink some water but other then that it took me 40 minutes to run! I feel on top of the world today! I feel like I can do anything and I had a huge breakthrough today! I feel amazing, very tired but amazing! Wow! Go me!!

    Awesome. That is a real milestone. After you get to where you can do an "out-the-door" three mile run, you really reach a new level of fitness and are capable of attacking much longer runs. I also think this is when running becomes fun rather than a chore.

    Congrats!!! and good luck as you continue to run.

    The 5k is my goal for next Sunday. I wanted to make sure I did 3 miles before the race so when I get tired durring the race I can't say that I can't do it because I already have. : ) I feel on top of the world. This is a huge step for me. I have never really believed in myself and now that I have accomplished the 3 miles I know that I can do anything! Again something I have never done. I have never felt so amazing about myself and I can't even express how happy I am with my accomplishments. I could cry I am so proud of myself. Thank you all for your support. : )
