I was 2 laps in and wanted to walk but I pushed myself. I was three laps in and was thinking well I could run 4 laps tomorrow... And then before I knew it I was on my fourth lap around the track and though it wasn't an intense fast run, I ran that bad boy! I felt so great when I was finished I wanted to jump up and down and yell!! I was so proud of myself, because just a little under 2 weeks ago I first stepped foot on the track and I felt like I couldn't even run one lap!
13 minute mile avg 4.6 mph.

Congrats on your awesome accomplishment! Soon you'll be hitting the 2nd mile then the 3rd, 4th and so on! Running becomes surprisingly addictive once you realize what you're capable of!0

I remember when I coudln't run a mile. then thought "if i really wanted to do it, could I?" and i got on the tread & ran so flippin slow, but who cares! I can totally relate to your excitement. congrats. when you feel like stopping at 1 mile, ask yourself i you are stopping, b/c you said you only wanted to run 1 mile... are you bored? tired, etc? when i realized I was stopping at 1 mile b/c i said i woudl do 1 mile, i decided to try to run back to the beginning of the trail & I did 2 miles. good luck!0

CONGRATS!! I remember that feeling, enjoy it!! You should jump up and down and yell, that's an awesome accomplishment. Way to push through, because that last 10-15 minutes of your work out is all mental, you just have to tell yourself you can do it! And you DID IT!!! YAY!!! :bigsmile:0
