Shocked myself

edited September 2024 in Success Stories
I took a hiatus due to my laziness and lack of motivation and thought the idea of getting back to training and working out would be useless. I clipped a mile in the falling snow(not on a boring and easy treadmill) in NINE miles. NINE miles. I wanted to a. get home fast and b. try out the gear for sundays race. I know I will run/walk the half on sunday but this just got my fire fueled for the upcoming year!!!! I was feeling like I was back at square one. IM NOT!!!!! My body remembered that I am FIT!!!!

    That is AWESOME!!!! Which race are you doing? I was contemplating the Pgh (half) Marathon, but it's expensive and coincides with my next round of finals. I wasn't aware of any other marathons here...

    I love my boring treadmill. My Son is 2 1/2 and wouldn't be able to walk in the 3ft of snow we got overnight here (Edmonton Alberta). My shihtzu is a puss and won't walk in the snow either. We just had a massive thaw for 3 days before this huge snow dump so even walking outside isn't safe with the hidden ice.
