Already noticing changes

I am only 4 workouts into stage 1 and am already noticing changes. Today I did my weekly 5k run. Usually it is more like a walk/jog because about a mile in my legs feel like they are going to collapse under me. Well the squats and deadlifts are paying off because today my legs felt great and I ran the entire way. I don't see any changes in how my body looks yet, but, feeling stronger while I run, is pretty awesome. :-)

    I have noticed the back of my legs look way better since lifting and I really want to go run. It is far too cold here and the indoor track makes me feel clostrophobic and the treadmill just stinks. Can't wait for Spring!

    Me too! I was so excited because it is supposed to warm up today...then I found out it's supposed to storm all afternoon. EPIC FAIL! I miss running outside!! :sad:
