    I did a half-k this weekend. Came in under 1 hour 40 minutes, wasn't even breathing hard.

    I ran 3.66 miles this morning (with a few short 1-2 minute walks). Its really unbelievable. When I started losing weight about 6 months ago I felt like a walrus and maxed out at 1 minute of running. Now I feel less "walrus-esque" (not quite cheetah) and max out at 50 minutes!

    My facebook friends don't care at all, but I just want to brag so I'm glad I saw this thread!

    7 days ago I started 30DS. I could do 3-4 jumping jacks per circuit, none of the jump rope move, none of the butt kicks and I couldn't even hold my legs up to attempt the bicycle crunches.

    Today, I can do 25 jumping jacks per circuit, 2 circuits of the jump rope move (the first and last one), all the butt kicks and the entire minute of bicycle crunches.

    I did tire flips for the first time in my life! I loved it :).

    I started with 3 flips in 20 seconds in my first set, but by my 3rd, 4th and 5th set I was doing 5 flips. If I tell any of my friends I did tire flips they'll look at me like they see water burning, lol :laugh:.

    Today was able to do the harder option during "round back" exercises in class- which are really freaking hard. You have to keep both legs totally straight- one pointing perfectly horizontally right above the floor and the other totally vertical while doing presses and stretches. Thought I was going to die but I did it!

    Can I join this class ?haha

    Awesome stuff all, best I can offer is over-taking a push bike going up a steep hill after giving him a headstart (he was halfway when I was at the bottom) whilst running.

    I normally run 6mph on my treadmill. I can usually keep this pace for a full hour without needing a break. Last week my uncle and I went for a run, except he ride his bike along side me. His speedometer said i was running 8-9mph the entire 5 miles we went. I was feeling pretty good about that. Thanks for listening.

    I couldn't find another thread solely for the little achievements at the gym you want to brag about, but are sure your Facebook friends are sick of hearing about!

    I did 10 handstand presses in my bootcamp class this morning. My shoulders are feeling it now, but I felt so strong!

    THAT. is awesome. :)

    After 12 weeks of weight training, I am A LOT stronger!! I can actually do an unassisted pull up! This is a miracle lol.

    Last night I hauled a massive, heavy treadmill across some pretty thick-pile carpet, without being able to use the wheels. I scooted, I squatted, I pulled.. all with fantastic form, and I got that bia RIGHT where I wanted it! I'm pretty sure it weighs more than me. And I didn't injure myself. That's what I'm most proud of! I'm fit enough to use my body to get shiza DONE!

    PS the treadmill is for my husky. That lil cutie needs to walk, even when it's rainy! And he's actually doing pretty good on it so far.

    Started running this year from a sedentary lifestyle in April. Did the Couch to 5K program and have been progressing since then.

    This weekend I did my first 10 mile run, averaging a hair under an 8:30 pace.

    :drinker:

    To go from couch potato to running non-stop for almost an hour and a half is something I was pretty proud of. Just need to keep at it and work up my milage to get into half-marathon range for next spring. Winter running will be an interesting adaptation.

    Walk 4.2km 6 nights a week to keep my wife motivated. Not a big deal except it's walking on my toes. I have extreme PF. Along with other foot problems. Also joined a group of guys at the gym that do very high intensity work outs that i thought i was told old to keep up to.

    Oh my goodness, that's great! Especially your pace! I am increasing my distance at the moment, also aiming for a half marathon, and my long runs are more like 10:00 pace. I pushed my last mile this morning and just managed to get it to 8:59! I can't wrap my brain around 8:30 yet, let alone sustained over an hour - congratulations!
