Improved my mile
 
Even though I started my diet last month, I didn't start using the treadmill until this month. In the 2-3 wks of using it, I went from walking the mile in 21 mins to 17.5 mins (2 miles in 34.5 mins) :carrot: :carrot:

I am absolutely positively proud of myself.

As well you should be! Congratulations!

I'm right behind you, but still have a little bit to go. I'm at 18 point something (about 3.3mph), with occasional jogs of 4.0 (VERY occasional :lol).

Good job Lena :)

I'm hoping to be up to jogging by the end of next month, but we'll see :dizzy:

Great job Lena and Kelly! It took me awhile to build up to jogging, and now I'm at a point where I can jog 5-6 miles. It's hard to get it going, but once you do, it's a great feeling.

Keep up the good work ladies!

I have just started jogging, I can now walk at 3.5mph for 3 minutes, jog for one minute at 5.0mph and then walk again. I went for 45 minutes yesterday and 3 miles. I aiming for an hour by this time next week, and then will work on increasing my jogging time, and even my speed.

I am really enjoying it. Just make sure if you are jogging/running that you get fitted for proper running shoes. It makes a major difference to your whole running style, and helps prevent injury.
