Mile 1.0

I would like to officially announce that I have added another exercise to my workout repertoire. This would be something called "running" and I think I've tried it about three times in my life - besides basketball games.

On Monday I ran .25 miles on my treadmill. On Tuesday I got up to .40, Thursday all the way to .51 and today .75 on the treadmill and about 1/4 of a mile outside. 1.0 miles!

Tomorrow I will stick with the 1.0 mile so as not to progress too too fast. That has been my mistake with weights in the past. I will still walk and lift weights. It's part of "lifestyle changes" as well as doing the Presidential Challenge (http://www.presidentschallenge.org) for work.

No difference in my weight yet, but helps the attitude and gives time to have good ideas.

Here's to Mile 1.0 and I'm hoping to get up to 10 miles by the summer.

Inspiration for this? I saw only one night of the biggest loser show this year and it was the night when the participants went home for a week and they had to run a half marathon. They all did it and I figured if they could...so could I.

Mile 10.0 here I come!
