1 Mile... Easy as pie right?

Ok, so last night was the season premier of The Biggest Loser! Did you watch?  If you didn't, you should because it's great motivation!  I used to not want to watch because I felt bad for the people getting screamed at and I think I was too embarrassed for them to watch... well after watching it last season, I fell in love with it!    The show literally changes their lives! I love to see these people as real stories instead of a "poor over weight person getting yelled at".
(spoiler alert) If you missed it, I'll share one small tidbit... the very first thing they did when they got off the bus was run 1 mile on the beach!  the fastest time was over 17 min. and the slowest was closer to 30, although I can't remember.  Anyway, it made them realize what a serious situation they were in (especially since 2 of them were flown to the hospital)

Today I woke up and ran 1 mile! I didn't stop the whole time (yes, I have sort of been running enough to be at that point) I finished in about 13 min.  I was happy and it felt great!

Ry and I decided that we'd try not to fast forward through the commercials, and that instead we'd exercise!!  I'll let you know how that goes!  Beats the alternative, eating unhealthy snacks and watching it from 10pm-11:30.

Running Tip:  Plan your route!  I didn't ever really plan it before and I always felt like I'd hit a wall!!  I was not even thinking about all the small inclines.  

So...Plan to run first up hill (hopefully it's not a huge incline) and then, half way through, either turn around, or plan it out so that the last half you are running down (even if it's a minuscule incline you'll feel like it helps!!)

Good luck!!!
