20 min Run

As most of you already know, I have been going to the gym for over a year now. My motivation has been to get and stay healthy, get in shape and feel good all around.

Today I ran on the treadmill for a full 20 minutes - no breaks to walk. Wahoo!! I have been attempting to run a little here and there on the treadmill since about Christmas. Ever since Jeff bought me an mp3 player for Christmas I have been listening to music while I exercise - and there is just some kinds of music that you just can't walk to.

The music motivated me to start running on the treadmill - and I hate running! I usually go on the treadmill for about 20-25 mins, and would run/walk various intervals. The most running I did up until today was a total of 14 mins - 2 - 7 min intervals with walking in between.

I am so very proud of myself, and I hope that I can keep this up. I actually don't mind the running as long as I have the right music.
