I just ran 2 miles on the treadmill!!!! That might not seem like much to some of you, but the longest I have ever been able to run any other time I have tried is 2min! And tonight I ran for 14min straight two times! 28min of running! OMG That is so insane I can't even explain just how crazy it is! I am so happy, I want to scream! I'm so excited I don't even care that I am still 100 calories over today!

    Awesome. I usually walk, and need to get back to mini sprints. But soooo jealous about running 2 miles. BRAVO!

    That is awesome! I want to be you! I can't run! My asthma would kill me. But god how I'd love to! I'm working on building up my endurance now so that I can run! Go you!

    That's awesome!!! One of the best NSV's there is! I did this not too long ago by betting myself that I couldn't do it! I'd tell myself that I could quit when I got to the top of the hill, but then I'd tell myself it's downhill, just run it! It's an awesome feeling. Congratulations!

    Of course, talk to your doctor first. But I managed...being 100lbs overweight on top of lifelong asthma. It's definitely an endurance thing. Start slowly. My tricks: use the fast acting inhaler (two puffs) before running. Walk for at least 5 minutes at a fast clip to warm everything up. And breathe rhythmically, using your steps to keep track. I start out with slow breaths - 3 steps breathing in, 4 steps breathing out. Then when I'm in full swing, I speed it up a little 2 steps in, 3 steps out.

    Also, keep your body loose. Don't tense up and freak yourself out. And don't run on days when the seasonal conditions would make it really hard. I can't do really cold days. It's gotta be at least 50 degrees outside. And I'm better when it's humid. It's a Mississippi thing, I guess.
