And to many...it may seem so small...but....

I finished Week 1- day 1 of the learn to run 1 mile just now!! Only 17 mins total, and scheduled for a total run time of only 1 minute but I did it!! Walk time at 3 mph, and run time set for 5 mph. Not only did I get off my butt and do it...but I added a minute of running on my own at the end!

I, me, yes ME ...did it. I ran!

    Great job! Stick with it and before long you'll be able to run a half marathon! :)
    I am a fairly new runner as well. I started in January and remember being so scared at the prospect of running for 10mins let alone 40mins...so I know the feeling you are having! Hold on to that feeling and you'll go so far!
