I'm so proud of myself!
My fitness goal now includes running. I have always been bad at running and was too unmotivated to try it. 5 Years ago, i would do an occasional 5K race - and did pretty well, but incorporating running/jogging into my fitness routine was something I never even tried.
I am so bored of everything - I do classes. Kickboxing. Spinning. I need to do more weight training, but can totally do all that.
I finally have been venturing into running when I'm on the treadmill. Tonight, I ran 15 min straight at 5.1 mph, took a few minute break (4.5 mph power walk) and then did another 12 minutes at 5.1 mph. that is huge for me. AND - I LOVED it!!!!! I felt so good during and after. I was hardly out of breath because I am pretty fit, so I was working within my cardio zone.
Now, I'm hooked!!! I *MAY* consider some 5K races again!!!

Re: I'm so proud of myself!
Running is SO hard for me too. I always feel so accomplished when I do anything over a mile. GOOD for you for sticking it out! It feels great when you exceed your goals! Plus...you do sound bored with your workouts, so I bet your motivation for something new had a lot to do with how far/long you ran!

That's great! I'm not a fan of running either and the only way I can run long distances is if someone is there motivating me.
