NSV - 10 freaking miles!

Almost exactly a year ago I started the C25K, I was 238 lbs and pretty fresh out of surgery. I could not run 30 seconds, I had to do week 1 of the program at least 3 times before I could actually do it, and I would finish after about a mile and a half.

Yesterday I ran a solid 7 miles, then walked/ran intervals for a 10 mile total! I am not the fastest runner on the trail, it took me just about 2 hours, but it makes me realize that my dream (and a year ago that is all it was!) of running a half marathon is NOT that far away.

The Sleeve is the BEST thing I have ever done for myself, I am sexy, I am skinny but most importantly I am FIT and truly healthy for the first time in my life.

Woo HOO Soo Proud of you!

I can't wait to get back to running. Right now I am barred from doing anything that would increase my eye pressure - running, bicycling up hill (not much of a workout if I can only bike down hill, LOL), etc.

I am walking to make up for it but I sooo want to run again!
