Today I ran for 20 minutes. . . . without a break. On September 8th I started the Couch to 5K program. In the beginning you run 60 seconds, walk for 90 seconds and repeat. The first day I couldn't do more than 3 repetitions. I cried.
Today I kicked 20 minutes' butt. Granted I'm slow but I did. I ran an entire 1.25 miles. I don't think I have ever ran an entire mile. Not even in High School. This is a monumental day peeps!
I have 3 more weeks on the program. Supposedly I will be able to run a 5K by the end of this. I believe it can happen. After that a 10K. After that a 1/2 Marathon. After that . . . a cruise.
On a side note, here is a picture of Ben's new fancy shoes. (As seen on the other blog) The yellow makes you run faster.

I am SO proud of you woman!! Sorry I haven't been following this progress as closely as I would like, I am a bit preoccupied!, but seriously! That is SO awesome! Keep it up! I am trying to get Sammy jogging with me. It is NO fun at first, but kind of gets addicting after long enough, KIND OF! ;) Love you girl!
