    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!

    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!

    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.

    Thanks everyone! I still can't believe it is real! I am going to assume that the reason I was able to do it was because I was on a treadmill? I have never tried running on a treadmill before, just outside. I did put it at a 1.5% incline because I have read on here that is what you need to do to make it like running outside. All I know is that my body is screaming at me today! My knees feel like someone smashed them in with a hammer. LOL My walk with the dog this morning was...interesting!
