One Month Of Running And...

Okay I haven't been around lately. I hope everyone had a fantastic Holiday. Needless to say with the holiday's and family get togethers hasn't left a lot of time for catching up with everyone. Thanksgiving I started running. As of today I can run a mile in 15 minutes. I have been on vacation and I have ran everyday two miles a day. I think before the middle of January I can successfuly run three miles easy. Not a lot going on, Just trying to get rid of these last pounds. It is so damn hard to figure out what will and will not work with the last bit of weight. Determinaton is what is keeping me from settleing on weighing what I weigh now being my final weight. I will check in every now and then to let everyone know how it is going. Wish me luck... :)

I think you are on the right track with the running. We are in the same boat, I have about 15 lbs left to lose and it is tough. Running will do it and also get rid of that lower belly fat and love handles I have. Running a mile in 15 minutes is a big deal, good for you. I was at 17 minutes for a long time, I would run a quarter mile, walk a little and run another quarter mile until I completed a mile. I have just now got below 14 minutes for a mile. I went to the gym this morning and running a mile about killed me, I sat around too much yesterday. Keep up the good work. You can always start the P90X program with me, that is my plan to get rid of the last few pounds and get in really good shape. It is pretty intense but I can do anything now that I am this close to my goal. Good luck and keep us posted.

Love it!! I want to be a runner...I try (well I sorta try) I need to try harder. I ran my first 5K in Sept and havent run much since. I want to set a goal for this year in miles...Not sure what it will be but I want to eventually work up to a marathon.

You all are inspiring!
