    I just got through Week 1 Day 1 of C25k. I have never run 90 seconds straight in my life. I got through the pain...I said "I'm not afraid of a little leg strain"...I breathed deep...I laughed at my heart rate when my body was like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME???" and I will try it again tomorrow! :-)

    Way to go! It does get easier, just stick to it :smile:

    I can't wait until my husband can pick me up again! Something romantic about it! 2 miles is awesome!

    Deadlift 145 pounds. Do 24" box jumps. Run a sub-12-minute mile (I loathe running!).

    So much more of my wardrobe is open to me now! (Well, again lol) I enjoy the responses from coworkers as well.

    Plus I can go on much higher resistance on the elliptical than I could before.

    I've done about 10 days of the 30DS (not consistantly...filler between other classes/workouts) and I can now make it through the butt kicks without stopping.

    I can tie my shoes without difficulty. Also after 2 years of being ill and not being able to do much I can hike a trail with a 90 foot incline and 2 miles long. It feels wonderful!

    more crunches, more pushups, longer wall sits, do extra, instead of just what is asked.

    Four minutes on the treadmill at 24% incline. I remember when I thought 15% would kill me.

    I can do proper form jumping jacks for 30 seconds with out feeling as though I will die. When I started 1.5 months ago I couldn't even do 10 seconds worth. It's partly because I my muscles are stronger, and partly because my mind is stronger. ;)

    I love this topic! Thanks for posting it :)

    I've been doing strengthening exercises on my legs to (hopefully) heal a knee injury and I have almost no pain at all anymore and I can walk up and down stairs comfortably again.

    I'm also doing C25K (with a knee brace) and I'm surprised I'm doing 3 min jogging intervals already. I didn't even know if I could run when I started. It doesn't hurt me, in fact it seems to be helping. don't think I've run since I was a kid and I didn't like doing it then!

    I have a new daydream of being athletic one day.
