I did a combo walking/running on the treadmill today! A whole mile. I'm proud of myself :bigsmile:

To me, that's a success story for sure.

    I've been running for quite some time now, and some days I get to about 3 minutes in and I'm like HOW IS THIS STILL HARD WORK?!?! You are doing something really tough. The pride you feel is LEGIT :flowerforyou:
    Don't you just wanna get off the treadmill and dance a little because you love your progress so much? It's a high!

    When I decided I wanted to start running last year I kept it a secret for a while....but then when I tried it and had similar success to yours, I realized that WOW I could do it and then I was hooked.

    Awesome for you and YES it is a big deal!

    Eh, let 'em look! You deserve a victory dance, and it will burn even more calories! :happy:

    Remember this feeling on those days when its harder to feel motivated. I sometimes have to remind myself about how good I feel after a workout in order to get my lazy butt up.
