Just a little NSV for today. Hit the gym this AM and honestly was feeling kinda lazy and tired when I got there. Was on the bike for a few minutes when a guy saddled up right next to me. I caught him checking out my display a couple of times and it sure seemed as if he was trying to go faster and harder than me whenever I sped up. He was obviously a fit guy. So I dug in and hung with him no matter how fast or hard he went. I have to admit it was fun and it turned out to be a great workout. Maybe I should have someone pace me every day!

Anyway, it may have all been in my head (very likely), but I was just so happy that I could hang. Six months ago 20 minutes of slow walking on the treadmill was a challenge. I'm not "fit" but I sure am in better shape than I was before I started this whole thing...

    Haha that's wonderful! I find myself being a lot more competitive than I like to admit as well. :-)
