technically 2.11!! I swear, bare months ago I was the type who DIDN'T RUN. And then I did a lap of the footy oval at the end of our street with the puppy and JUST made it...next time pushed myself to 2 laps, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4...then recently, have started taking him out for after dinner runs around the streets and adding on the minutes each time, and tonight I ran a direct route down main roads so I could map it when I got home easier than all the twisty turny side-streets, and it was over 2 miles!! That sounds really far :) I won't say my time because it's probably pathetically slow haha but still, I'm soooo impressed with myself :)

And the hyperactive puppy is flopped out on the carpet, sound asleep. SCORE.

Congratulations!!!!!  That is a fantastic accomplishment!!  I am thrilled for you, it *is* really far!  It's farther than the vast majority of people could run even if they were forced to, nevermind them actually wanting to.  :)

And as a beagle owner, I'm also very impressed your puppy is sleeping.  Congrats!!
I just got to doing two miles last week! I felt amazingly proud of myself!

I also run pretty slow but as everyone keeps reminding me, It doesn't matter how fast just matters that we're doing it!

Keep it up!
Congratulations!

That is quite the accomlishment.  I was in the same boat as you - totally out of shape, and slowly pushing myself.  I know how AMAZING it feels when you can run that far without dying of chest pains!!!

WOOHOO!!
Congratulations! what a wonderful accomplishment..
That's awesome!! You keep it up, girl!

Me and the puppy will be doing marathons before long ;)
Well done!!

I wish I could run 200 meters nevermind 2 miles!!
Awesome. Well done! :)

Isn't it a great feeling?!?! :) I remember when I first ran 2 miles without stopping. I felt like I could do ANYTHING! :)

Great job! :)

It's a WONDERFUL feeling! How did I ever loathe running?! I don't know how far I went last night, but it was a full six minutes longer than the 2.1 miles took :D And all around the side streets so it'd do my head in to measure. I was aiming for corners and being all, just ONE more, then as I'd near it I'd think, no, the next one...I can't believe I pushed myself so hard :D
HEY!
me too!

doesnt it feel great?  
GOOD JOB! That's amazing!

I have an australian Cattle dog. He's hyper haha. I run him for exercise! =D

I'm on running 1.5 miles on a track this week =D
