    time for first mile jogged?

    I have been walking during my time on Atkins, but have hit a little of a stall, so decided to start jogging. I was able for the first time since high school jog a mile nonstop today. I did it in 9:25. I didn't think that was too bad for a recovering fat man Is that a good time or is that just really bad? My goal is to be able to jog 3 miles nonstop.

      That's great. My runs I pace at 9-1/2 minutes, so your doing great! Now just add distance.

        A 9 minute 25 second run for a first time miler is good going. You should be very proud of yourself.

        It will be interesting to hear about your progresses in future weeks.

        It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




        I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

            Well I did a mile for the second time yesterday and got 9:32. My calves are really sore today, but it sure feels great to be able to go after something and reach it.

              I got my mile time down to 8:52. Now today I slowed my pace down and I was able to go 1.5 miles and did it in 15:19. My overall goal is to be able to jog 3 miles.

                      I was able to reach my goal tonight of jogging 3 miles non stop, and I did it in 29:51. I was thrilled. I was pretty winded coming up on the 2 mile mark, but it seemed that once I got past 2 miles I got a new wind and was able to go on to 3 miles! Yippeeeeee

                        Wonderful! Keep it up, just make sure you don't burn out (by going too hard too quickly).

                        And your time was great!

                        Have a Happy Atkins Day
