I DID IT!!!

Yea for me! I accomplished something I haven't been able to accomplish since I started going to the gym at 5am. I completed 2.5 miles on the EFX machine within my 28 allotted minutes. Sounds like nothing to you avid worker-outers (yes, it's a word), but to me it was quite an accomplishment. And I even had one second to spare! Woo hoo!!!

My next goal: the spinning class. And then the goal after that: to run a 1/2 marathon.
Give me about 3 years to accomplish those though...
P.S. What is with the bowling pins in that picture?

way to go alayna! that's such a great feeling. i was just complaining to jake yesterday that i've been trying to work on getting my 3.5 miles on the treadmill in under 40 minutes and it's seriously so hard for me. i made it in 35 minutes yesterday and although i was proud, i was discouraged knowing some people run 26 FREAKING MILES in just hours. how on earth!? i don't think it's in the stars for me. keep pushin' on.

Congrats Lanz! You make me want to go to the gym. I think we should all work hard and do a 1/2 marathon together. (Marianne and I tried and failed) We could start with a 5k:) Oh and I really think we should all go on a cruise toghether if we plan ahead we could do it next summer. Just the girls. We could leave the kids home with the hubbys. Although I am hoping to either have a new baby or be pregnant so I will have to think about that, lol. Love you Gril!
