Mmmber wonders what would set her heart on fire with passion...
How I did it: I didn't start the day thinking 'today will be the day...' especially since I'm just getting back into the swing of things at the gym since my illness but I knew I wanted to run it out. Never in my life would I have dreamed I could run a mile. Wow!Instead of starting with my usual brisk-walk warm-up, I decided to start with a light jog. I was surprised when 3 minutes in I was nearly done with a lap and wasn't even out of breathe.I upped m… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just started running for 5 minutes without stopping, walked 1, ran 4, walked 2, etc. About a month later I decided to try running the mile, and even though it took me like 13 minutes (treadmill), I didn't have to stop :) Now I start each workout with a mile run Read how I did it…
How I did it: It took me this long because I started to procrastinate this. I tried for a couple of days then just stopped trying.I have done this in a gym setting and that helped. When you're at a gym and people around you are working out, it helps to motivate you to push the extra bit. It took me two days at the gym to be able to do this finally. Read how I did it…
How I did it: First I ran .25 of a mile ( one lap around the track) and when I felt convident enough to do a .5 mile run ( 2 times around the track) I would do it. When I mastered the half mile, I tried the .75 of a mile ( 3 times around the lap) until I could do that in under 6 minutes. Then I tried the full mile ( 4 laps around a track ). And I kept on adding one lap. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just started running. The first day I was able to run for 10 minutes, which was a mile. The second day, I added 2 minutes. The third day, I added 3, and so on. Read how I did it…
I just ran a 1/2 mile without stopping. So, amazingly enough I find myself halfway there. The question will be is the 2nd half longer than the first half? Hahahaha.
Would be amazing to find this accomplished before the cold weather sets in. All I have to do is 2 back to back 1/2 mile laps and then I’m done…. might just be possible!
inky3405 still packing and trying to get somewhere with my goals
This relates to my other goal of making exercise a habit. Right now I am 130 lbs overweight, so running is not going to happen….but I have to start somewhere. So this goal has to come after I make exercise a habit by walking, swimming, riding my bike or something everyday to get in better shape and lose weight so that running can become an option and something I can realistically work towards because right now its just a long term goal and not something I can accomplish in the near future.
I’m no longer in body conditioning since it’s summer and I’ve gotten out of shape, though I always kinda sucked at the running. Currently at the gym, I run for 5 min, walk 1, then run 4, walk 2, and so on. It takes a while, but I want to build up enough to run the entire mile without walking.
Currently I had to stop after 0.4 miles. Will try to increase it from tomorrow.
Stopped and then completed about 0.9 but need to do an entire mile in 1 go.
Tomorrow I will go out. I will run. I will not throw up.
I’m not sticking to any sort of schedule or running program. Call me hard-headed, but they just don’t work for me. Right now my strategy is to run everyday. And by this I mean lope along at a pace that is just barely faster than walking until I can’t anymore. I figure I’m doing 1/4 mile now before I have to start walking. Everyday I will push myself to go just a little farther until I reach the one mile mark. We’ll worry about speed later…

Thanks to some brilliant person at my school,
NO GIRLS have PE anymore! You’re either in Yoga, Aerobics or School related sport.
I have Yoga now, & I can practically sleep in that class!
But I have to admit, we stretch so hard sometimes, I feel more tired and excercised than i did in PE!
So, HAH! TAKE THAT MILE!!
Miles are no longer a requirement. (:
Every year in school they make us run a mile in under 12 minutes. If we don’t complete it in the alloted time, we will either take a D for our grade or retake it.
Last year I came so close to not making it and thats when I decided to start training for that mile. I did as much as I could over the summer but I have lots of stuff to do so I couldn’t even imagine doing it everyday. Then school started which didn’t really change anything, but once I found that I COULD go at it, it was too cold outside to do anything! :(
The mile test will be in April or May and I really have to try my best to make it!

Well I went out a couple months ago and spent over $100 on running clothes, went running once, and haven’t used it since.
It’s just been so cold outside, or too icy.
Gotta get crackin’ on this!
