Wow you are an inspiration! I want to be like you, right now I can jog about 4 minutes, this week I'm supposed to step it up to 6... wow a half mile I so want to be where you are. Thanks for sharing the hope!

thank you for your words of encouragement. I need them, trust me. I'm aware that my meds are going to make me gain weight, my doctor has warned me. When Friday weigh in I figured even if I gain.. well at least I know this goal is going well. The meds are for two weeks and it is what it is. I can still live healthy. I can't believe how fast muscles are growing in my body! I figured it would be a month before I'd see that mile mark... I'm not even soar, well a little soar, but not like last week. the days on the treadmill helped, still don't like him. (hey and what the heck, waking up at 4am??? I love the new me!)

OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! Way to go! I am so proud of you! That is such fantastic news! My goal is to be able to run 5k by the end of May. :) I have pretty severe asthma, so I go at a speed that still lets me breathe. I am so impressed with you! You are amazing and inspiring! I'm going out again today, too! This time I'll even wear a pedometer so I can see how far I'm going. Again, WAY TO GO!!!

I woke up about 4:20 am... and thought, Coni lets do this thing. I put on the sweats, running shoes and hoody and off I went. I jogged a 1/2 mile before I had the need to walk! Can you believe it? Then I jogged most of the time, walking less and less.. it came to the last mile in the five k distance and I thought, CONI DO IT! and I did! I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT! This was the first mile I jogged in my life without stopping to walk. And if felt good. I wasn't dying, I could breathe and even talk. if I had a buddy! I'm so going to do this 5k come December 5th.
