I've been trying for over a week to break 20-22minutes (I know it seems such a small increment, but my god its been a challenge).

I'm definitely finding it easier to extend my endurance on the treadmill.
My breathing is consistent and not as hard and I'm able to maintain my pace; both things I struggle with when I'm running on the bike path.

After finishing yesterday I thought "I can run" - for the first time since I started this program in August.

I can't recall if I rep'd you for this or not. Just in case, I want to make sure you know I think it is such an amazing accomplishment!!! I especially love that feeling of pride associated with it. I totally get that!

Keep up the good work, Sparkle!

I was able to start running again after nearly 5 months of healing & rehabing.
I'm working back up to 5 miles a day..................I am currently, barely loggin 2 miles a day.
I just signed up to run Disney in January, I figured that would be a good goal to get me back on track.

Keep on runnin & walkin!

Good luck with the January run, Miss July!

Welcome, Greco! Five miles is amazing, and I hope to be able to say the same some day!!


I set myself back on cardio when we went on vacation and then came back sick. I'm still on the mend from whatever-the-hell that bug was/is, but I am completely committed to gettin' back after it once the congestion clears!

Today I'm going to start up again with mild stretching and low numbers of pushups and situps.......just to get my body used to the activity again. I don't want to do too much for fear of some sort of relapse.

But, like I said, I still feel good and focused. *two thumbs up*
