I almost gave in yesterday and used it as 'rest' day...
But I forced myself to get out there and run .. well the weather was great and my Nike+ gadget had me intrigued that what was suppose to be an easy easy 3 miles, ended up being 5K and in record time of 40:25 seconds (a 12:44 pace!!!)

To add more craziness... instead of doing my 2:1 ratio, I ran the whole thing and did 3 30 second quick walk breaks... I'm a crazy girl!

That's the fastest I think I've ever run...

Im breaking into the world of cross training so I'll be running and moving more with only 1 or 2 days of rest during the week... Shocking!!

So if your down and out and just tired, get out there ... who knows what you'll end up doing

You are an animal!!!

Let the addicition begin, feel the run, pain is weakness leaving the body, rule your body, control your mind, hurl yourself up the road of accomplishment. Sure it hurts a bit doing it but it feels so dang good when its over and the body reshaping is Ouuu La La sweet.

You are really wrapping yourself around some great new habits and lifestyle changes that bring long term success. You ,...wait, i"m getting misty,...are doing so dang good!!!

Proud of you accomplishments. Thanks for sharing to help us get and stay motivated to keep moving.

Sporty Jill,....see what you are doing to people on this board????

You are doing so great! Keep it up! You are right, those days when I am absolutely dragging are the days when I really do well working out. It's hard getting myself motivated to do it, but I always feel better when I do. Thanks for the inspiration and the reminder! :)

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

I am so jealous because I want to run!! But think I have a weak kneee which isn't even hurting me any more. I bought the book you recommended Amanda so now I have to read it and see if I can run too after reading it....

I want to feel the burn but think I am probably too darned lazy to do it!

Congratulations! You must be so proud!

Amanda, I'm so envious. I'd be happy if I could walk to my mailbox! Do you realize just how far you have come? Please go look in the nearest mirror & tell yourself how wonderful you are. We're all very proud of you.

Hugs!
