Ran a mile today!

A mile might not be a big deal for some of you out there, but I never thought I could run a mile straight through without stopping.  I've always thought that it would be so exhilerating to be able to just run -- and at 43 thought that could never happen at this point in my life.  I even made it in under 12 minutes (11:58 to be exact)!  Just goes to show you never know what your body is capable of until you try.  A friend has been challenging me to train to run some races with him, and I have been telling him, "I am not a runner."  Time to re-think things and get on the training path.  This would never have been possible 55 lbs. ago, without my nutritional changes and the support of friends and fellow C-Cers.  If I can do it, you can do it!

Nice Job! : )

congrats!!! It is such a big deal to get your first mile down! good time too, I think :)

good job kay. well done

Yay!  Good job!

It's that first mile that lays the foundation for your running career. Remember, even the best marathoners had to run mile #1 at some point. Great job and keep up the good work!
