Last night at the gym...I jogged for 41 minutes without stopping. Running a mile used to kill me, and now I can do 41 whole minutes straight! I couldn't even believe it.

I can't remember the last time I was this proud of myself. =D

    I know what you mean, it used to be so hard to put one foot in front of the other! It is a real accomplishment when it gets easier, AND you look forward to it. Keep up the good work.

    You OWN that treadmill! You SHOULD feel proud!

    I think of all the emotions this journey has taken me on, proud is my favourite (I'm Canadian, and I spell things the Canadian way).

    Here's to 42 minutes... ;)

    That's great! I'm on W6D2 of the C25K and I can't wait to get up to 3 miles. Running is definitely a confidence boost and it's so exciting when you go further than you thought you could. Congrats!!

    I am right there with you... I am going to have to repeat week 1 of c25k because right now I can only run for 45 seconds at the longest. But we can get there with time and determination. :wink:

    Yay for you! I do C25K w2/d2 tomorrow. I'm looking forward to being able to run for the first time in my life. I couldn't even run a whole lap when I was in school. At this point I can't hardly imagine running for 41 minutes straight.

    I love it. Congratulations! Keep on running!

    I ran my first 5K on Sunday and that was for 31 minutes. It is pretty exciting. I signed up for a second one and the training includes doing 4 miles!
