NSV - Jogging

kamorgozo · August 2011

I don't post much and I feel kind of silly posting this but I'm pretty excited and wanted to share. I just ran .8 mi straight - a first for me! I started running in June and couldn't do more than .2 at a time, and in July I made it to .4, but I've been struggling with this .8 for a couple of weeks now. I know it's not that far, but for me this is HUGE -- I'm the kid that used to cheat on the mile run in school by walking most of it and lying about how many laps I did. So I am pumped - next goal, one mile!!

great job!

It may not seem like much, but think about where you started--it's progress! I started running in February...I could run literally for 15 seconds before I had to stop and walk. Now I can run for 30-35 minutes straight.

Yeahhh!!!! Congratulations. I started running last year for the first time in 20 years, and now I'm hooked. Used the Couch to 5K (C25K) program. It was great. Google it and take a look, you can print the plan for free. It is very gradual, and customizable (It took me 12 weeks instead of 9 because I had to repeat some).

You can do this, and it's a great stress releiver!
