Sorry to be the annoying one to toot my own horn but I have to share this huge accomplishment! I have never been one to exercise every single day but I was desperate to get back in shape so that was exactly what I committed to February 2010. I started running on 2/15 and ran every single day for the next 365 days! Total mileage for the year was 1670 miles! I have lost 20lbs and gained a heck of alot more strength and confidence. I must mention that when I started running here and there in late 2009 I couldn't run to the end of my block. Since then I have run a 5K, 10K and my best was an 8 mile run.
In addition to the running, I also take 3-4 classes a week at the gym (Spin/ Gravity Strength weights.)
I officially think I am addicted to exercise and I love it!!!! Now to figure out what my goal should be for this year....................
Suggestions welcome!

Congratulations. I am so impressed with your accomplishment. I love to run, but living in Philly I always find excuses in the winter not to get my butt outside. I think you have inspired me!0

That is awsome. My husbend and I would like to start running but we still have a bit of snow and ice here. I have been doing alot of walking trying to work up to a slow jug..:happy: Keep up the good work.:drinker:0

Wow! That had to be a real shock to your joints. You really hit the ground running, so to speak. That's a heck of a lot of focus and determination. Congrats, on sticking to your plan and gaining better health and confidence as a result. Oh and I have recently grown to love running too. Once it gets in your blood, it can really take hold of you. I just got in off the road right before making this post. Anyway, keep up the good work, and uh. . . you are entitled to an off day or two. Just don't make it too many.0

:flowerforyou: Fantastic! Toot away (beep-beep)!
I was never a runner, never liked it before, but I started out jogging last summer doing one of those Couch to 5K programs
and loved it - I'm still running, albeit slowly. Your story gives me hope that if I keep at it I will be able to increase distance and/or improve speed.0 -
Thats totally awesome and amazing. Congratulations! You are a real inspiration!0

WOW! I cannot even imagine running EVERY DAY!!!!
You deserve all the TOOTS you want!!!!!!! YAY FOR YOU!!!!!

That is incredibly awesome! You have an amazing ability; just the fact that body allowed you to, much less your mental fortitude! You are an athlete now and SHOULD be very proud of yourself!0
