    It is a huge success, enjoy it! It's funny that I ran my first mile (without stopping) yesterday too and I was so excited! At 230 it's not easy and I usually just walk. It's nice to know that progress is being made. Keep up the good work!

    Awesome time, my first mile was probably 25 minutes or more. It's been so long I can't remember. It wasn't on a track it was cross country.

    Quite an accomplishment.:drinker: Stand tall girl. You earned it.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Thank you all for the replies and support.. I guess I didn't realize how huge of an accomplishment it was! My husband is athletic and in shape, so when I told him, he was proud but didn't make it seem like it was THAT amazing...He just told me good job and moved on to the next subject (he has never struggled with running or weight). To everyone out there struggiling with running your first mile; YOU CAN DO IT!! Mind over matter. We are ALL stronger than we think... push push push.

    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!

    Haha, of course you can brag! ;) Thanks for the encouragement!

    This was me about three weeks ago (first mile, ever!)... now I'm running 8-10 miles a week, and growing. It's addictive! :D Congrats, and welcome to your new addiction. Haha

    I have the same high from running more than 10 mins non-stop, yet this also might not seem big to some. However for me and others it is an awesome achievement, just like yours!

    So congratulations, you've achieved so much and you're going to be continued to be amazed at what you will accomplish! <3
