For the first time since last June or July - sometime in there. Wow!! I could only run 1/2 lap at a time around the track - high school track - but I did it 4 times during the 10 laps I walked. My goal last year was to run the 2 miles at the Montana Womens Run this year. I will not make that goal - but I will run part of it. The run is May 9 - I'm so excited! I should post a new pic after that - the main one on my profile is last year's Run - which I walked with my mom and daughter. I'm stoked!! I think I am kicking it up a notch again. :drinker: Just had to share!!

    I know how you feel. I just started jogging with my dog around our neighborhood and I feel great! The last time I tried I jogged for about 30 seconds and about died :noway: Now I can jog for quite some distance at a time and I can't even describe the feeling of accomplishment. Good for you!!!!:drinker:

    Ha ha. Yeah - in front of people and everything :blushing: That's the 2nd time this year I've pushed myself out of my comfort zone in regards to working out with other people who could actually see me! Very scary for me. I was thinking "am I brave enough to do this with all these people?" Then I just took a deep breath and did it!

    The high school boys baseball team practicing did not make fun of me. The 2 hubbys walking with their wives did not chuckle. I actually got encouraged verbally a couple of times. Yay! So if your scared to be around people when you work out cuz you think you may look stupid - I'm sure I did lol - just do it anyway!! You may be pleasantly surprised :drinker:
