I can’t believe it. When I started my Journey on MFP last October I could not stand up for more than 5 or 10 minutes. I started walking on the treadmill at 2.6 miles an hour at only 10 minutes a day. Well today I ran.... ya I ran at 5 miles an hour for 2 miles straight and I could have kept going but I have to get ready to go out this afternoon so had to stop. WOW 2 12 minute mile. At the last minute the song from Chariots of Fire came on. How weird is that. It made me cry for what I had just accomplished. :bigsmile:

    Oh, yeah, that rocks!

    When I started, I could do about 5 minutes on the recumbent bike. I'm now doing 25 minutes and reaching about 7 miles. The last time I went to my doctor and weighed, I'd lost 32 pounds since November. That was at least a month ago.

    Keep up the great work! It's encouraging to me to see other people getting healthier as I try to do the same. :-)

    Peace,
    David

    Great job! Running has never been one of my favorites either...I'm trying to break thru! My breathing is what I have a problem with....how do you do it!

    A huge congrats to you! You just told my story as well!! I am so inspired by music during my workouts. If you like the Chariots of Fire theme, you really need to download 300 Violin Orchestra by Jorge Quintero. I intentionally put it into my playlist at a point where I know I will need it and it seriously pushes me to finish strong.
