Today, I was able to run 1 mile- without any walking breaks! And the coolest thing happened while I was running, I actually caught myself thinking about something else other than my feet, my breathing, how far I was going, or if I was going to make it. I was able to run and just lose myself in it :smile: I feel like I have the courage and can build the stamina to sign up for a 5K in September.

Now on to the next goal- 2 Miles!

    Great job! Once you've ran one mile without stopping, the rest comes naturally. For me, the hardest part was being able to run one mile without stopping. Get your breathing under control and get in your zone. Pretty soon you will running several miles at a time.

    Welcome to being a runner!

    Way to go! That's such a great accomplishment. I hope to one day do the C25K. I sometimes have dreams I am running (for exercise, not running from something) and feel great in the dream. I think I'm just too scared to try. Thank you for your inspiration :)
