Gigantic WOW for me at the gym

Inspirational! 

I started the couch to 5k, but wasn't very religious about keeping up and continuing I hate to admit.  I have never liked running, but thought about how I really want my new life to be different from my old life, and how I want it to include lots of activity...

Thanks for sharing...I think somewhere in my mind I had already decided I would never be able to do it, so I gave up before I failed...

Thanks all!  It does feel great.  I am loosing weight uber slowly right now and sometimes that gets me down, so this is something tangible I can look at and feel a daily sense of accomplishment about.  Everyday it gets a little easier and every few days I am able to add another couple of minutes.  Very motivating for sure.
