I've been halfassing it with my exercise for a while now - just going with the flow, not pushing myself to take it up a notch or anything. Now I'm raring to go and work on doing even more pullups and chinups and cutting down my time for the 5k and pushing to do a half marathon and just... yeah. This place is awesome.

Mickie Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks guys! As for the 5k, trust me, you can definitely make your way there. I was injured with a stress fracture all last year (stupid me wouldn't stop pushing myself even with the injury, and only made it worse) and only this past December did I get back on the horse with running. Once I started doing a mix of endurance AND sprints instead of just plain old long-distance running, my cardio boosted in a huge way, and now I can't stop pushing myself to go more and go faster. It's addicting! Quote I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. - Philipians 4:13 AWESOME TEAM OF FLYING MONGOOSES! Jump Rope Challenge: 800 Link to comment
