Today, at the gym I ran 3.24 miles in 37 minutes! I am so excited...I was able to run the entire way without stopping once! I've been training for a while, gradually increasing my distance. I did a 5k last month but it took me a long time to finish and I had to walk some.
I can't even begin to say how happy I am today.
A year ago I could barely walk around the block..now, I am running.
My weight loss is slow due to very slow metabolism(had a test done) so creating a 500 calorie deficit from food a day isn't possible for me:( but, I'm not going to let that get me down.. it will come off and I will be healthy and fit!
