Slow but getting faster
I use RunKeeper on my Droid, and today it said I had a new personal record: 17.11 minutes per mile. I'm also up to 2-3 miles a day, five days a week. Not bad considering I started with a walk to the end of the block and back in January, and my pace on my first run was 24 minutes per mile. :)
I was never good at any sports at all when I was younger, so I'm stoked to be doing something athletic and actually improving at it!

Awesome! That's a big improvement, and from personal experience, not an easy one!!
I have found it helpful to keep logs (i use some iphone apps) of your improvements, so when weight loss slows down/stalls, you have something else to motivate you.
Keep it up!

Good improvement.I advice you to keep the pace going,would benefit in health aspects in the long run.I started off with a 2 mile walk,took me around 35 minutes.Now taking 30 minutes.For me,a sort of inspiration from you.
