3 months ago when I started my journey I could barely finish a 1/4 mile jog at 4.5mph. Today I just completed my first treadmill 10K! Took me 75 minutes since I only go 5mph but I did it. Now I need to work in some incline. Have signed up for my first 5k run end of Aug and a 10K run Oct 1st.

When I started I never thought I'd be able to do one mile since I hadn't done that since high school and I hated doing it then (and I'm 41 now) much less jog 10K and not feel too tired afterward.

It's pretty amazing how the body responds to changes in diet and exercise once you commit yourself to doing it!
