edited September 18 in Fitness and Exercise
I play kinda competitive soccer (I'm competitive anyway :wink: ) and I thought I would try going for a run/jog last night in hopes to improve my endurance. Turns out I did way better than I thought I would!!!! I am extremely excited and proud (shocked too!) to tell ya'll that I did pretty good and jogged about 5K with very short little walks here and there in between. I'm hardly hurting today too!

I thought 'runners high' was just a myth but it is so true. I never felt so good about exercise in my life! I'm looking forward to trying it again tonight.

Cheers

    Thanks for your support everyone! :flowerforyou:

    Its amazing being on here and getting such great support and advice from everyone - its very motivating. Since I have been on here, I find I push myself more with exercise and have good realistic goals set for myself. Its all about the health and not the size 6.
