    So, I just got back from a 2.75-mile run, and it got me to my first "milestone", as I see it: this is the first week I've run 10 miles! Cool A few months from now, that'll be 20. But for now, 6 weeks into my running career, I'll take it. Yay for double digits! Big grin Lauren

      Awesome job Lauren! I remember my first double digit week, too. 5/14/07. Keep up the good work, and good things will happen.

      Yes, I do "run in this."  So should you.  The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.

          I think it's a BIG milestone! Congrats!

                That's a great milestone and definitely one to be proud of. In 6 months you could easily be running a HM, but we all have to start somewhere! I remember my first 10 mile week...I was pretty geeked to have done what so few are willing to try. Big grin k

                    Funny you mention the HM...because my friend is running the Grandma's HM in June, and I think my boyfriend and I are going to join her. That gives me 8 months (granted, some of that is during a long MN winter!). Thanks for the push! Big grin

                      That's a big milestone! 20 will be even bigger! Running is great b/c there are constantly new things to achieve and of which to be proud. I definitely recommend the HM. And don't let the "half" fool you, finishing one is definitely an achievement.

                          Congrats on the milestone! Sharing it with others is half of the motivation. Some day soon you'll be telling us about your 10 mile day. Cool
