Rep Power: 59529 | | | Congrats 1000monkeys. It's always nice to discover you are wearing a smaller size than you thought!!
I saw your drumming thread (that was you, wasn't it?). My BF played drums for 20 plus years and drumming is definitely one hell of a workout!

Not only is it a hell of a workout, but it's great fun too so it's something that you don't mind doing and kind of lose track of time doing.
It's like people always say in relation to exercise, find something you like doing and do it!

Rep Power: 8142 | | | I seem to be doing a lot of bragging lately, but ...
Today I did 5k on the treadmill at my gym. I did once do a 5 mile outdoor run when I was a teenager, but I was a teenager then! I know it's not a huge distance but I'm pretty proud of it. If anyone had told me that I would be over 80lbs down and able to do 5k seven or eight months ago I'd have laughed in their face!
There was a little speed walking involved but mostly jogging and running (alternating between the two). So I guess I'll be back to brag some more when I can run the whole thing non-stop.
Also, sorry if this should have gone in the Couch to 5k thread, but I wasn't following that programme so I thought that might be a little inappropriate.

Rep Power: 648432 | |  I'm bragging about this one. Tonight I jumped rope and made 10,000 jumps. It took one hour and nine minutes. I really didn't think I'd be able to do it this month, but I really pushed and did it.
