Today I hit a small benchmark of jogging for a full 10 minutes; a goal I've been trying to achieve all month.
This made me feel good and proud.

To top it off, one of the skinny pretty girls at the gym passed me afterward and said "You are a champ on the treadmill!"
I hope she gets her karma and has an awesome week because she almost made me cry with joy from that little compliment.

    Awesome! Way to go! I am NOT a runner. It has always been really hard for me. But when I was a member of the YMCA, I tried so hard to make myself run. I could usually only run for max 5 minutes, then I'd walk, then run, then walk, etc. One day, out of the blue, I ran for 30 minutes NON-STOP. Never did it before, haven't been able to do it since. But it was neat when it happened.

    What a great thing for her to say, congratulations on your milestone, and remind yourself of that skinny girl's compliment as encouragement to keep going when you feel like you're ready to quit.

    Oh my gosh! First off, way to go on the jogging! That's an awesome accomplishment! I can't imagine how awesome you feel being acknowledged as a runner. And congrats on the compliment! That's the best feeling! I know how that feels to have those little compliments just make your entire day. I'm envious that you have built in motivation to keep killing it the way you are :)
