    Started running about 2 weeks ago. My pace was around 11:17 a mile and I couldn’t run a full mile without stopping. I took my first rest day on Thanksgiving. Today I ran a mile without stopping for the first time in forever at a 9:50 pace.

      Congrats!!! Just FYI, running two weeks without rest days as a new runner might lead to injury. Intentional rest days will prevent unwanted forced rest from injuries as your muscles, joints, and bones adjust to the impact of running.
