Yesterday was a world class day because I hit two major milestones...... Smile

In March, when I started running I weighed 165.....yesterday I weighed 150........which means I have lost 15lbs and have 15lbs to go to make my goal of 135lbs......half way home.......so this was a great milestone for me.... Made me so happy I went for my first 10 mile run.......... Wink

Oh that is FANTASTIC - on both counts! Good for you. I am insanely jealous on the 10-miler Wink

(for other readers: I'm working my way back from injury.) Time to celebrate for sure!
