Hey ladies...i just wanted to post because I was so thrilled yesterday. On Tuesdays, i'm in class all day (9:30am-7:45 pm) but I get a break from 3:20 till 5. During that time, i've been going to the gym. (I don't want to g when i get home because the biggest loser come on at 8pm). So i was on my way to the gym and I realized i let my studnt ID in my car! They won't even let you into the building with out one. So I decided I'd walk back to my car (about a mile or so) then go for a jog outside for the sake of time. I know this 3 mile loop around campus that I ran once upon a time during my days on the team...and last time I ran it I averaged just above a 7 minute mile. I think it took me just under 21 minutes to do the whole thing. This time...my goal was just to get through it without walking. I surpassed my expectations and copleted the whole 3 miles in 26 minutes...which is just under a 9 minute mile! I'm so excited y that because the last time (about 2 months ago or so) i timed my mile on the treadmill and it was up around almost 15 minutes!! So I'm glad i improved, but I also have a time I'm working towards! My goal is to run the 3 mile loop in 20 minutes at some point this winter/early spring. Also, i was watching the biggest loser last night and this previous contestant was saying how him and 12 other previous contestants are doing a triathalon in the morning. I was talking to my fiance last night and told him that i want to work towards an event like that so that theres more of a point to stay healthy once i reach my goals. He said he'd train with me when the ime comes. So yes...one small step today...will be one giant leap later on! Take care! Maria
