    I would have to agree with everyone else on this post, that is a major accomplishment. From the sounds of it you over came more than just running your first mile. You have now mentally proven to yourself that effort + hope + vigor = success your goals are only a thought away :-) and as long as you keep thinking you can do it than you will do it .. celebrate your accomplishments no matter how small they are, which in this case it's a pretty big deal lol .. i know people in the gym that have been running for a while and they have yet to reach the '10 min mile" mark. I am going to take your story with me to the gym tomorrow and brag on you like we are best friends lol (if you don't mind of course, you don't cool) keep up the great work and keep knocking down those obstacles success looks great on you!

    Congrats! I admire you. I don't run unless I'm being chased with a gun. This is a great goal to have met. Mile two is going to be a piece of meal replacement bar (not cake!)

    I totally know what you mean about being athletic but really struggling with running! And like others have said, don't minimize your success! That's a huge mental obstacle to overcome!!! And those can often be our biggest :/

    Although I am overweight, I am an athletic person and I have always had pretty good endurance... but running was not my forte. It was HARD, so anytime I went out to the track I struggled (mentally), but today I stuck it out and ran 1.04 miles in 10.56 seconds. Yes, I know... it's not the fastest mile, but it's great for me! I'm happy, so I thought I'd share some of my happiness :bigsmile:

    This IS a huge success! Seriously, running a mile in under 11 minutes... that's AWESOME! My 12 year old sister is a dancer and in shape and she hasn't even pulled off a mile time under 11 min

    I'm still waiting for the day when I can jog/run a full mile... I think I can do maybe half right now, but still working towards it! I am definitely going to treat myself when that day comes though! GREAT job!!
