    I wanted to post a picture with a quote, but I can't figure it out. Great NSV! I love running because every time you run a little further you feel like a winner. Some of my favorite quotes are:

    "It doesn't matter how slow you run. You're still lapping everyone on the couch."
    and
    "If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run." - John Bingham

    Congratulations on your NSV! That's awesome.

    PS 4 miles in 45 minutes is not that slow...just think of it as lapping everyone who's still sitting on the couch :drinker:

    ****WARNING****

    Four miles will turn into a 10K. A 10K will turn into a half marathon. A half marathon will tempt you into a full marathon.

    Soon you will have an uncontrollable addiction.

    It's true. Running is addictive. You heard it from me first.

    Congrats! It's an accomplishment no one can take from you.

    In my case, a half marathon just turned into two more half marathons coming up...but I love this.

    Haha!! This poster is doing half marathons in every state. ME!! Fat and 50. To date I've crossed finish lines in 36 different states. If all goes as planned, I'll have 47 by the end of 2012.

    Yep. It's addictive. One mile at time. Some have been slow. Some have been really slow. But I have 36 medals hanging from 36 wine bottles (I get a bottle made in each state) to pass along to my children when I die.

    Why you ask? Pffft ... Because I can. That's why. :smile:

    Great job!!! I know how tough it is as I am trying to get stronger with running myself! Keep at it! I am slow, but I am getting there. I ran about 95% of 6.60 miles today!!

    I'm so confused. Why say you ran 95% of 6.60 miles? Isn't that just the same as saying you ran 6 and a quarter (or 6.25) miles? What am I missing?

    Went the distance of 6.6 miles...ran 95% and probably walked 5% of the time.
