Can I just tell you guys about a NSV (non-scale victory) that I had this week? I've been running intervals and trying to build my stamina and cardio endurance. I've been "stuck" at 90 seconds...run for 90 seconds, walk for 90 seconds. Whenever I tried to run for longer intervals I felt like I couldn't get enough air and I'd end up gasping for air. I read something in the forum at MFP about how the first mile or so is the hardest for runners and how you have to push through it. So the other morning when I ran I decided to keep running for another 90 seconds...at the end of that 90 I kept going for another 90...then I walked for 3 minutes and did it again! I did 3 sets of intervals like that and then finished my 5 miles with 90 second intervals. I'm so stinkin excited to have broken through that 90 second barrier! Tomorrow morning I am going to do my best to run the whole first mile!
That is awesome! Congrats!! - LisaMouse7531

That is fantastic! Feels good to push past what you think you can do, doesn't it? You have a lot to be proud of. - D55CR

Yay! I had the same issue trying to run all the way around the small baseball field at the park. At first I'm embarassed to say I could only run one side (along the fence) - then two sides/walk one side. The day I finally ran all the way around I felt like Rocky Balboa at the top of those stairs! Sad thing is I probably can't now. I should try tomorrow! - msdizmaui

Yay! That's so great! I am learning to like running (jogging), which I never thought I would do. Your post encouraged me to start pushing myself again. Thanks! - PrincessKristin

Awww Kristin, thank you. I can't believe that I've grown to love running over the past few months. It's something I never ever thought I would do! - vernswifevickie 350.5 #412 3:58AM
