Hey all, had to share this with everyone because I am SO excited! Okay, I know this will sound lame to a lot of you, but I just ran for three minutes straight! I havent run in I dont know how long so I figured I would try it and I did it!!! I ran 3 mins and walked 12 at 3mph. Not a fast pace but I am SUPER proud of myself. One of my goals was to start running this year and I did... SO FREAKING EXCITED! Anyway, just thought I would share so maybe it would get some other people who are intimidated by running too to run. Have a great night!

Good for you! I got on my trampoline TWICE yesterday. I'm a walker and pray God I will always be able to WALK.
Plan on "tramping" three times today.

WOW!! That is so awesome and gives me some hope that one day I can run instead of just walking!!lol!

I totally relate! The feeling of running is definitely a weird high!! Like you, I also ran last week.....I was afraid I'd knock someone out at the gym with my boobs, but did it anyways!!

That is HUGE! I just quit smoking and I too started running this fall. I am up to about 5 minutes at a time. But really, I like to run for three and then walk and then run and then walk (I think that's good for the metabolism?). One time, and I mean, ONE TIME I ran for 15 minutes.
Now that I've quit I would love to run some moer but wouldn't you know it, I screwed up my knee (during the first week of my quit) and now I am slowing working back up to a fast walk!
Anyway, enough about me! I just wanted to say I KNOW hoe exciting it is to actually RUN!!
You go girl!!!
