I got up to 5 on the treadmill!

It took me an hour, and no incline, but I was able to run 5 miles!! It felt great! Now I am working on speed and adding inclines/hills so I’m ready for the race in May!!

The trainer I’m working with had yesterday as my “long run day.” It was 40+ minutes at 5.0MPH, no incline on the treadmill.
I covered the treadmill controls with a towel (it’s much easier for me to run with blinders on!) and went 50 minutes, 4.5 miles. And I upped the pace for the last 5 minutes to 5.3 MPH.
I was STOKED at the end! It was an awesome feeling!
I am now officially registered for the Spring Lake 5 on Memorial Day weekend. And I have a trainer who is a runner and also a Weight Watchers lifetime member who is going to help me design a training program to get ready.
I’ve been running at the 5K distance for about a week now. I’m really excited to keep progressing!

I’ve recently lost a lot of weight and my next goal is to run a 5 mile race on Memorial Day 2007. That is the one year anniversary of when I started losing weight (over 50 lbs) and getting into shape.
I have worked up to a 5K and will keep on going. I found the running wasn’t too bad, but I was so tired the next day!
