Non-Scale Victory: Treadmill Tamer

As they come up, I will let you know about my non-scale victories.  These may be goals reached, but more likely, they will be the small wins we all have during our weight loss journeys.  Last night, I had a huge NSV- Since I started including running in my workouts, it's always been through interval training.  This allows me to run faster than I otherwise would to build up my stamina, while still giving my body, lungs, and heart a break with walk breaks.  Over time, I have been increasing the time running, and decreasing the walk segments, and once a week, I try one block of time just to run.  For the past month or so, I had been hovering around the half mile mark.  I ran 3/4 mile straight on the treadmill, and likely could have gone more, but had to get to my yoga class.  I had thought running a mile straight was very far away, but now I feel like it is a possibility, perhaps even in the next month.  Just a few months ago, running one minute and walking two was a challenge, and this really showed how much progress I am making!
