5 mph

I'm not sure how I did it, but I managed to run five miles in an hour tonight. Outside. And I felt like a million bucks.

I caught myself grinning like a Cheshire cat as I finished. I am amazed that this former fat girl, who was unable to jog a half-mile six months ago, is now able to run for an entire hour.

Proud of myself, I texted Lonnie to tell him the news. His response: "What were you chasing? A donut or a handbag?"

Jerk. But every day he doubts me is one more day of motivation.

And I just agreed to run a 10K on my birthday. I feel absolutely fierce and invincible tonight. I just hope I can get out of bed tomorrow.
