in Fitness and Exercise
It's Christmas Day and I had to go for a run! I ended up doing 3.5 miles of running on treadmill mixed with some interval training. I jogged at 4.0(as my walk) and ran at 5.5 for my interval. I feel great! A year ago I could barely walk around our little block. I feel accomplished!

Most of all, I'm happy that I don't view exercise as a chore. Its simply part of my day:) Happy Holidays friends!

    Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments and kind words! On days I get down on myself because the scale doesn't say what I want it to..I have to remember moments like this.. seriously, a year ago I could barely walk and now I'm running. I average around 16 or so miles a week of fitness..I feel great..the more I do..the more I want to do..Crazy huh?
