After consistently exercising for nearly 6 weeks, I FINALLY had a breakthrough today. Every day going to the gym is HARD for me! So far I have not enjoyed it. My muscles are sore and when I'm on the treadmill, my legs feel heavy like stones. I don't want to take another step. I have to force myself to do it. Thank goodness for ipod's or I would have probably quit a long time ago.
However, today was different. I got to the gym, started up the treadmill at my usual speed and started walking. It felt strange, like I was going really slow or something. Instead of feeling like stones my legs felt as light as feathers. It was a really strange feeling. And, when it came time to run, I could actually do it without feeling like I was killing myself. It was awesome. I actually turned the speed up and went faster. I hope this is some kind of breakthrough and not a one time thing.
Also I learned today that "Ned Atomic Dustbin" is a good band to listen to while you are trying to run.

Somedays I feel my whole body is fighting me when I run. But other days it's almost fun. It's a good feeling, huh?
This just reminds me of how long it has been since I worked out....feeling guilty now.
Holy Crow! Six weeks??! That is awesome! Good for you!
That's great, Kim! Congrats. I need to get going on that again... a couple months of slacking off, and I'm amazed at how quickly I lost some of my progress. hmph.
