successfully jogged 1/4 mile today!
today i jogged (at 3.2 mph) for 5 minutes and did .25 miles. normally i can only go a minute and a half at atime but was so proud of doing 5 minutes i had to share.
aiming to run 3 times a week and increase distance/time each week. keep thinking of how good i'll feel at that finish line.

I'm working my way up to 5K also. I have no intention of running in a race, but I am up to 1.5 miles a couple of times per week. I'm less ambitious. I'll probably spend the rest of the month at 1.5 and work my way to 2 next month. I want to be at 3 miles by the end of May. I'm pretty casual about it since I'm not interested in running in a race.
Hang in there. Don't forget to stretch!!

my dad (who's 65) runs 2-3 miles daily and said he'll do the 5k with me if i'm ready. i think its sweet that he'll run slow for his ridiculously out of shape daughter. lol. i just realized it's almost march so i better get cracking on the training if i want to be able to do it!

I can remember before surgery, I could not run for 60 seconds. Now that I have 58lbs off of me so far, I am now running 40 minute for a distance of 3.5 miles. Just keep increasing your distance and you'll get there. Sign up for the race ASAP, that can work as your motivator, Good Luck.
