I joined the gym in April and never in a million years thought I'd be were I am now in such a short space of time.
The first time I went on a running machine and actually ran I lasted about 3 minutes max and nearly keeled over when I got off.
Over the weeks it's been getting easier and I've been doing 20 minutes of fast walking/running each time, gradually increasing the running and decreasing the walking.
Every time I've been getting to 1.9 miles in the 20 mins and it's been driving me mad that I could get to 2 miles.
Ok, it the grand scheme of things this isn't much but I'm really chuffed with myself so I'm blowing my own trumpet here
It clicked over to 2 miles for the first time on wednesday, I did it again on Friday and then today I got to 2.1 miles.
I love it!!!! and the gym instructor has said if I keep this up he'll nominate me for gym member of the month. I spend about 2 hrs every other day there now
I'm not going to create world peace or anything but for me it's a huge achievement.
