hi all,

i'm cortney and this will mark round 2 of the 30DS for me. prior to doing 30DS, my workouts primarily consisted of running and stretching - and a certain level of annoyance that i wasn't seeing any results. yes, my cardio was improving and i was becoming a better runner - but there wasn't any improvement on the other areas of my overall fitness, like muscle tone, body fat percentage, weight, etc. i mean really, what is the point of running mile after mile if you aren't getting thinner? running isn't exactly one of my most favorite activites, although it can result in a pretty nice collection of "bling".

insert 30DS into my training schedule...and deduct several inches of worthless fat off my body. woo-freakin'-hoo! :bigsmile: i can't tell you how many hundreds of miles i have run over the past 2 years, what i can tell you is that they did not give me the results that jillian did in one short month (literally, because it was february) ... i love jillian michaels! she may be a crazy woman, but she gets results.

feel free to add me as a friend if we aren't already. an unspoken deal that i have with my running buddies is that we encourage each other to keep going, keep pushing ourselves - in doing that i have learned to be quite the cheerleader for other while i am pushing through my own pain - and while we aren't physically together through these workouts (as i am with my running buddies), i am hopeful that an encouraging word or two (whether it be from me or another member of the group) will be that little boost of whatever that you need to make your way to the end.
