I have to say that running was something that I always saw others doing and enjoying, BUT, I knew that it wasn't for me. I did run as a child, always slower than my friends and I hated coming in last, so at some point as a child I quit running. Now I have been told that I must run...WHAT?!? I hate running or at least that is what I have been telling myself for close to 40 years. So when told I needed to run I thought I was going to HATE the people telling me to run. So after a couple of classes that I had to run in, I decided that I was going to make myself LOVE running. What, am I crazy, wanting to love something that I love hating? So this week I have gone to the gym and the first thing that I do is get on the treadmill to...RUN! My first day it took me 13:46 to run a mile. On Wednesday it took 13:00, and today I did it in 12:34! This is crazy! I am so high from this personal challenge. I can't wait to go faster and longer. I want to run! I know that I would never be where I'm at if I didn't have the support from others and the belief that I can do things that I never thought possible. I thank everyone in the group for supporting me, including Robert and Kili. THANKS!

I am so proud of you! On Wednesday, when you said, "I'm going to run a mile on the treadmill," I was kind of dumb-founded. You really did it! And since then, you have really been challenging yourself, which makes super proud of you! Keep up the hard work, babe!
