Epsilonx2 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 The last couple of days have seen some very exciting milestones in my life. 1. One of my goals this challenge was to get my 5K time down to 30 minutes. Yesterday, I went for a run at the gym. Not only did I run 5K in 29:38, but I ran for a half hour straight. That's more than twice as long as I'd ever gone without slowing to a walk! 2. For as long as I can remember, I've weighed between 220 and 250 pounds. Since beginning to get my health in check this past November, I've lost a total of 34.5 lbs and, as of this morning, I WEIGH JUST UNDER 200 POUNDS!!! Cue streamers, noise makers, and cake! (Totes kidding about that cake. Who freakin' needs it?!) 2 Quote Aisha Half-Giant Warrior, Level 5 STR: 7 || DEX: 6 || STA: 8 || CON: 7.5 || WIS: 12.5 || CHA: 5 Challenges: 5 4 3 2 1 If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time.

Oramac Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Woot woot! I'm impressed by the running. I hate running, so anyone who can knock out a 5k is a winner in my book!

ShadowLion Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Way to go! Congrats on the weight loss and the running! Quote All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. ~T.
