I found out that I apparently like to jog, running is a bit out of my league right now. I started doing C25K and love it. So tonight I got on the treadmill and the C25K app was messing up on my phone, so I tossed it aside and said I'd jog until I couldn't do it anymore. I figured I'd go 5 minutes max because I usually get winded outside. Well to my surprise at 40 minutes I was still jogging (without stopping once), but I had to stop because the motor was getting so hot that the plastic started to melt. Even the deck was pretty warm. Yikes!! Not good, but I feel so dang awesome for being able to do that. Never ever in my life (ok maybe when I was a kid) have I been able to do that. I wish I could have kept going, but my legs are feeling it right now so glad I stopped. I can't wait to run an entire 5k without stopping.

So what gets you on fire? What have you accomplished that you never thought you could? No matter how big or small? Always remember that, let it motivate you, let it be the fire to get you moving. This can be the hardest damn thing you'll ever do in your life, but let me tell you when you find something that you can do well, keep doing it!

Any other C25Kers out there, friend request me if you want to motivate each other!

    I think that is awesome! Good for you! I did c25k and loved it. It was awesome to run so long without stopping. I did my 5k and ran it all the way. I was 5th to last like 654 or something but at least I could say I did not stop!

    Id love to do it again one day when my hip issuegoes away.

    That's pretty awesome too Angel. You weren't last and even if you were at least you finished the 5k. That is certainly something to be proud of. I hope your hip issues go away so you can get back to it.

    Hate to tell you this bro (no that's not true, I love to say this) but YOU ARE RUNNING.

    Jog? No such word.
