Lonniepop Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 For me, this is a pretty big deal. I remember being in middle school and being the last person still trying to complete the 1 mile run (23 whopping minutes of torture). The last time I tried to survive the treadmill I stopped 10 minutes in with a burning itchy body and opted for a not-so-great recumbent bike workout instead. Today, I stretched before even stepping on the machine (which I never do), plugged in the Zombies, Run! app and went to work. I am so stoked and happy. I've been doing cardio on and off on the eliptical and do a bodycombat class at the Y, but it's so nice to see an actual improvement. 14 minute mile and 2 miles without stopping. F* Yeah!

Armada Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 That's killer! I remember jogging 1.5 miles on one of my rest days and having my throat taste like blood after. It was super gross. Keep killing it...3 miles is just over the ridge Quote Previous Challenges: 1Pushups: Green Belt Link to comment

MoogleStomp Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 That is amazing! I was always the last person to finish those school runs too, so I can imagine how incredible it must feel to turn that around. Quote Link to comment
