It may not be a big thing for most people, but early last week I was finally able to run/jog a full mile with out stopping, and after almost 2 weeks of keeping at it, i've knocked my mile time from just under 17 minutes to just under 13 minutes! Seeing as how I havnt ran more than 50-60 ft at a time in years, I consider that a nice little victory to me :) Happy Friday People!

    Awesome job, I am looking to do a 5K next month, and just started running myself. Haven't tried to run a mile yet, so this is very encouraging to see you improve your time rather quickly.
