When i started working out at the first of the year three minutes on the eliptical was more that enough for me:grumble: . Now 20 days later i ran for longer than i ever have at 5.5 on the treadmill:bigsmile: . I know it isn't much but i was very impressed with myself which has become a huge motivator. Also my reps on the strength training machines are getting easier too! I can't wait to see what the next 20 days will bring me. Who knows maybe i will run that 5k with my mother come spring! :tongue:

    I love that feeling. It's really amazing to me every time I add a minute to my running- i don't really know why but it's GREAT!

    It is great to see the improvment every time. It shows that gettig your butt off the couch is paying off!

    I love running! When spring comes I'm hoping to get outside and do it more! I love the feeling of it during and after my shred is over. It feel great and gives me energy!:drinker: :flowerforyou:
