i can't believe it. it wasn't painful, and i thought to myself, "is this what running feels like?" it felt SO good. even though it took me about 17 minutes, but that's another success for me, as before i couldn't even run 2 minutes. my ultimate goal is to run a half marathon in april :noway:
gonna prove to myself that i can

I just started running in June. I had NEVER run before. I am training for a half in January. I'm very nervous but I just keep running and hoping that I make it. Ran 7.6 miles for the first time Sunday. It was TOUGH!!!0

Good for you!! You (and the other former non-runners) are an inspiration! I still have bad memories of being the last one to finish the mile in 8th grade gym class. That's probably the last time I ran any significant distance. :laugh:0
