    I did my first fun run on Sunday (14km/9 miles) and did a better time than expected. I couldn't run in January and I have problems with my knees.

    Nice job everyone! I'm so excited because I went ice skating today (briskly) for 2 - 30 minute non-stop sessions. I wasn't feeling much from that so later I walked/jogged for 3 miles and still had enough energy to fit in a 15 minute lifting session. This is huge for me because 2 years ago I couldn't ice skate for 5 minutes without needing to stop to catch my breathe. I'm so freaking proud of myself!

    2 weeks ago it was taking me 45 minutes to walk a mile and last week I walked a mile in 20.20 minutes.

    In October, I rode a 220km (136 mile) bike race, finished inside my goal time, in 34C (93 F) degree heat with a headwind for 120km. Over 8 hours in the saddle. 8500cal burn for the day.

    I did the final 70 km without water stops, alone, with no riders visible for several hundred metres ahead or behind me. Just me, the sun and the headwind.

    I just wanna go back and staple this achievement to my fat, unfit former self's forehead and scream STOP PROCRASTINATING, STOP MAKING EXCUSES, GET THE *kitten* ON WITH IT.

    Burpees are the hardest exercise I have ever done. I consider my push up workout a piece of cake compared to burpees. Good job!

    I started on my HS basketball team for 2 seasons as a 5'10" 225-240 lb fat *kitten* with little natural athletic ability.

    Nothing else in my life have I had to work harder for...

    I've been working out since I was 19 years old which adds up to 36 years....that's a lot of sweat. The longest break I've taken in all that time has only been 4 weeks.

    Finally pulled 355lbs on a deadlift for a PR, then did 205 for 4x4 on front squats, finished with 40 feet walking lunges with 120 across the shoulders. The next day was a rest day

    pushed 920 for 3 reps on leg press after 4 sets of squats and 4 sets of deadlifts.... the 920x3 was my 4th set on leg press also.

    thank you...it sounds so huge and impressive. But on the day it was very simple; ride another 5km. Head down, get on with it. Repeat.
