I'm so overweight but i've been working out. I hate running but thought i'd give it a try again. Today I ran a mile in 12.5 mins. For me this is a HUGE accomplishment. I just wanted to share the joy and to remind everyone out there that you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to. Small goals or big ones....there's not a better feeling than when you accomplish something.

    Great job! Every time you get out there to run you'll improve! It's not only good for the body but for the soul! Keep at it!

    Fantastic!

    When I was younger I hated running too but when I started again a few years ago it was the sense of accomplishment that got me hooked. There are a lot of things in our lives we can't control but this isn't one of them. Keep it up!

    Well done! Good for you for getting out there and doing it! I just started running a couple of months ago. Never thought I could run, didn't even like running...until I started and kept at it. Now I love it! I find the first 10 minutes the hardest, then something happens and I just feel great! Keep at it and enjoy!!
