This morning, I went to take a little walk/slow jog around a lake that's near my house. Usually, I'm only able to jog for a few minutes before I have to start walking again (I've got bad knees). Today, it was almost easy to jog for 10 minutes before I took a walking break. Woo hoo!

Of course, I think I pulled a muscle on my last little bit of jogging this morning, but I'm going to concentrate on those first ten minutes!

woohoo..congrats. Keep up the good work. BTW if you are interested in getting in shape via running or want to run a 5k there's a really great program called the Couch to 5k. this web site explains it...i did it last time i lost weight and it really did seem to work. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

keep up the good work

Woo hoo! Congrats!! I'm only at about 4 or 5 minutes myself, so I know how awesome that must feel!

Congrats!! When I started trying to jog I could only go 3 min. I've done 10 min. twice now and I really didn't think I could. It does feel like an accomplishment.

thats great!

That's awesome. I was huffing and puffing last night after 2 minutes. You are my hero.

Congratulations! I haven't been brave enough to even try jogging yet other than going to my mailbox. The last time I seriously lost alot of weight I was jogging almost every night and the weight seemed to just fall off.

That's more than I can do! Congratulations on your hard work - that's awesome

I am somewhat jealous. Believe it or not, I have periodic dreams of me just jogging. This is one of my goals. Also, I had a friend who just left for bootcamp, and he was bragging about the pushups he an do. I told him, when we meet again, I hope to be down to my ideal weight, and would love to challenge him to a pushup contest.

It will be a while before I can do either, but I am so determined to get there

Thank you all, and congratulations to all of you who are running, too. It may be hard now, but we'll get there!

Congratulations! You will be running miles in no time!

I just started the Cool Running program yesterday! I have been doing the elliptical at the gym for nearly six months, and this was a good addition to that. I did not feel like my lungs were imploding.

Congrats, Reji. That is awesome.

wow! great victory! I can barely get past 60 second intervals you are rockin!
