NSV - Clothing Size
I went out clothes shopping for the first time in about 5 or 6 months last night. I needed some long sleeved shirts and/or sweaters that fit since everything from last winter (or before) is way too big now. I spent many, many years wearing 3XL clothing for my top half... last year, I was still on the border between 2XL and…

My Biggest (longest) NSV Yet: My first half marathon
I ran my first Half Marathon on Saturday! I never would have gotten there without MFP. It was a great race and I had an awesome time (mostly). If anyone is interested, you can read about it on my blog http://www.conscious-steps.com/?p=204 Ted

NSV - 500 miles
Just had to share... today I had a 4 mile run... and crossed the 500 mile threshold since starting C25K in January of this year! I cannot believe it is that much already. MFP has been a big part of successfully adding running to my life and running has become a big part of my success on MFP. Ted

NSV - Finished first 10 mile race today
I ran my first 10 mile race today! It was unbearably hot (84 degrees, 90+% humidity and strong sunshine) and I ended up walking a good bit of the last two miles, but I did it in 2:13 Five more weeks until my first Half Marathon... it should be cooler by then (I hope) Ted

NSV - Today, I was "that guy" running past other people
The trail that I often run on in the Harmony Hill Nature Area in East Bradford township, PA is about 2.75 miles long (just a bit longer than that actually). What this means for a longer run, is that I have to run a part of it “out-and-back” multiple times. I like this trail for a 6 mile/10k distance because the trailhead…

NSV: 10 mile run!
Today I had my first 10 mile run. 10 miles in 2:00:11 (12:01 minute per mile pace) The best part was that the second half was faster than the first and the last mile was fastest of all! 6 months ago next week I was struggling through the 90 second running intervals in week 1 of Couch 2 5K... today I ran (virtually non…

Running NSV!
I started MFP in January, and at the end of the month started a Couch 2 5K running program. Though I am not done the program yet, I signed up for a 5K race this saturday. So today, I decided to see if I could actually run 5K yet... I needed to take my car into the shop, so I scouted a route back home that was just over 5K…

NSV - Passed ATA Fit Test
Hi all... I had a BIG NSV last night! My fitness/weight loss journey started nearly two years ago when I weighed 347 pounds and decided to start taking taekwondo classes. The program at our school is about 2 to 2.5 years to get to black belt. Back then, I didn't really think about the black belt - I just wanted to get some…
