  • I actually ran for twenty minutes straight today! No walking, no stopping. I still can't believe I actually ran the whole thing. Had my legs no been so tired when I got done, I probably would have danced in the parking lot of my apartment complex. Several years ago, I had really gotten into exercising while trying to loose weight, and even though I could kick butt walking, I still never could run for more than a few minutes. Six weeks ago, I thought it would never happen.
  • That's AWESOME!!! Congrats!!!

    Yesterday was my first 5 minute run....looking forward to the day that I can do 20 minutes!
  • what an achievement!!! well done!!!

    WOW!!!!! that's amazing!!!! well done ! you're a total superstar!

    i can only run/jog for 1 minute straight. i've only recently been able to do that. before i couldnt run/jog for more than 30 seconds!! now around the 50 second mark my legs start to hurt, lactic acid build up. and then i push myself for the last 10 seconds and my legs kill and burn. but i then walk until the pain subsides. and go for the next 1 minute. i'm hoping slowly i will get fitter and be able to run for 1 minute pain free.

    how did you do it? did you slowly build up over the weeks?

    well done!
  • that is a huge milestone to reach!
  • Hooray!! Congrats
  • WHOOP, WHOOP, I know that felt wonderful! Way to go!!
  • Awesome doesn't it feel very empowering?

    I had that sam experience too for the first time last summer.
  • Congratulations!! I just had that same experience a little while ago(just finished C25K a few weeks ago)! It is an awesome feeling!

    Now, I am able to run 5K! Woohoo!!

    Keep at it!
  • That's a pretty long time, congrats!!
  • Wow I'm impressed! What a great accomplishment!
