I know we have the mini-goals thread, but I'd love to know...what athletic things have you done lately that you NEVER thought possible?

I'll start. Today, I ran 7 miles. Seven! And more than that, the first 3.5 were sprint intervals (4mph walk for 2 min, 9mph run for 1 minute), followed by another 3.5 miles at a steady 5.5-6mph pace. SEVEN MILES, at an average pace of 5.4 mph. SEVEN!

(seriously, seven! Or, just over TWO 5ks).

What did you do that you thought was impossible?

Good job!! You should be really proud!!

I never thought I would be able to exercise on the elliptical for 50 min!
When I first started it was a STRUGGLE to go 15!

I remember the first time I got on the elliptical - I don't think I even made it to five minutes...

Congrats on working your way up to 50!

I ran a sub 40 min 5 k... 38 mins actually, although that's not really fast for most, it`s quite fast for me
