So maybe this isn't a big deal for most people but today at the gym during a 35 min jog/fast walk on the treadmill I ran (as fast as I can) for 10 minutes straight! It's a big accomplishment for me cause before I could only run for 2/3 min at a time before having to walk for a bit. Plus! this is only the second time I've tried running since losing almost 20lbs. Imagine what I could do in a couple weeks :smile: I ran as long as the skinny chick next to me :laugh: I was so happy I swear I almost started crying in the gym haha

    I'm not laughing - actually I'm a bit envious. :wink: On a treadmill I don't run for long. That is a huge accomplishment. WTG!!!

    That's some achievement. Take it from someone who just started running on the treadmill. I used to run years ago but started doing it as part of my new circuit training. I am killed doing it but know it will just take a bit of time to build it up.

    Well done you, that's great work!

    That's great! I can barely run on a treadmill for 5 minutes! But mostly because it bothers my feet.
