I have lost around 77 pounds so far. i used to ran a 13 min mile. today in training for my next half i ran 9.75 miles average pace. 9:50. I am just so excited had to share.

YaHoo - you were under 10 min miles over the distance. Way to go!
Sorry about the delay in posting -- I was hiking and rafting the Grand Canyon. I too thought of myself of a fit person, no matter what my weight - but I could not have done many of the side hike if I hadn't already dropped a bunch of weight.
On to our next victories.

Stalls are your body's way of telling you not to get too cocky.

12:15 isn't bad. at my high weight of 230 i was doing around a 14 min mile. i ran 8 half marathons that way. i have one in october this year. cannot wait to see the differance this run. i have loved running way before i ever lost the weight but now it is amazing to just run and not get tired. let me know how it is going from time to time.
