For the first time in my life, I have successfully run one mile non-stop without any walking breaks.

IT WAS GLORIOUS.

To celebrate I walked another four miles and then had a Cinnabon.

I have also made a decent dent in my to-do list, although tomorrow must also be given over to to-dos, as I let many pile up--probably had something to do with all the Buffy I've been watching recently.

Oops.

(A MILE. ALL AT ONCE. ME!)

(I didn't time it, but I'm sure it was slow.)

(That's TOTALLY OKAY.)

It absolutely does not matter how fast you went. A WHOLE MILE!

\0/ \o/ \0/ Yay you! \o/ \0/ \o/

Having built up from nothing before to be able to run 10 miles, I know what work it takes to get where you are. Congrats.

A WHOLE MILE! :-)

Yay! That's awesome! I would love to be able to ride a mile and do five pull-ups. You know, increase my chances of surviving the zombie apocalypse and whatnot.

Go, you!

I have never been able to do pull-ups. I think I have some sort of mental block.

I'm working on the pull-ups, too, but it's tough going. I have several obstacles--my weight, my height, and my gender. So far I can do three sets of seven, but that's with a ton of assistance. Maybe someday!

It's all about the zombie apocalypse!

Yayay!!!

:-)

That is totally fabulous!!! *\o/*

It really, really is. I feel like I've helped the ghost of my elementary-school self find peace. Hah! Take that, mile run. :-)

Congratulations! Very awesome! :)

Thanks!

Good for you!

On the street or a treadmill?

Thanks! On the street. I marked out a half-mile loop and did that twice. There was even a short section of stairs.

That's fantastic! I can only run for, like, two minutes and then my legs hurt, despite all the hiking I do. I'm getting better though.

Yay, you!

That was me! That was me just a couple of months ago, actually. There was also a breathing problem, in that after a couple of minutes, I couldn't. *grins*

Awesome! Go you! It doesn't matter how fast you went, just that you did it and accomplished your goal. Keep it up and soon you'll be running 2, 3 4, & 5 miles at a time!

Thanks! You know, I had this weird moment after I finished the mile where I thought, "Actually, that wasn't too bad." I never thought I'd think that.

Yay! Good for you! :):)

PS: Although I've long seen almost all of them, I'm on a Buffy kick too. I just started season 2.

:-)

Yay, Buffy! I'm now watching Angel--a bit more slowly. I've seen more of it than I had of Buffy.

WHOOOO!!

:-)

wow, that's awesome! congrats and go you!

Thanks! I'm so excited about it.

THAT'S TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

*does happy dance*

WOW!TOTALLY!YAY!

I'm beyond impressed.

To be honest, so am I. :-D

THAT IS SO AWESOME. Yay you!

If ever there was an appropriate time for a snoopy dance, this would be it.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING 'BOUT! :-D

Way to go!

:-)

So, just how many calories did you put back on with that Cinnabon? ;-)

Post-run treats are 100% guilt-free for at least the first year. It's a rule.

It's a good thing I don't count calories, I'm sure. Heh.

Congrats hon'. :D As someone who can't go up the stairs without losing my breath and having a minor heart attack - I admire you.

Aw. Well, it's taken me a long, long time.

Yay, look at you go!

Whee! Soon, it will be TWO. :-)
