1 MILE....I DID IT!

Okay, it may not seem like a big deal, but I have been working so hard at increasing my endurance and yesterday I jogged my 1st non-stop mile!  I was at the gym and no one was there.  I passed the 1/2 mile mark and felt good, so I though why not keep going?  Before I knew it the entire mile had passed. 

I am only jogging at about 4.5 - 4.8 but I did it.  My next goal is to increase my speed.  My ultimate goal is a 12 minute mile and I am not that far from it. 

I hope to stay motivated and accountable through this forum.  Thanks in advance for your support!

Great work Redenallen! Progress is so energizing! Keep it up!

It DOES sound like a big deal! That's great! Keep up the good work!

Congrats!

it's totally a big deal, congrats!  i was just talking about this with my father a couple of weeks ago.  i'm coming up on the 2nd anniversary when i ran my first mile post-op later this month.  by memorial day that year i ran my first 5K, thanksgiving that year, my first half marathon, almost one year to the day, my first full marathon.  progress is exciting!

Great job and it's an awesome feeling. I remember that day for me as well. Enjoy it !

Very big deal...You know it and we know it!!  Enjoy the ride...

It's a huge deal. I'm on the 3rd week of the Couch to 5K, and the running 3 minutes non-stop is kicking my butt. I did it the first day, but today, I worked out with my trainer first and I struggled the second time I had to run 3 minutes straight. You're my inspiration!!

Great job! It's great to hear when people hit their first goal. Keep up the hard work and enjoying your success.

This is a major milestone so don't feel like it isn't a big deal.  Congrats on the mile and your hard work.
