Me v's The Treadmill

I'm keeping this short and sweet as I am sure the pain in my feet is radiating it's way around my body!

This morning at 8:50 I stepped on my treadmill will an aim to beat my previous calorie burn of 288 calories. I was also determined to stay on and not have a break. I was really hoping to get to 300 calories without stopping.

I made it... I didn't stop. In fact, I kept going, small reachable goals. Just another 250 metres, then another and another etc.

61 Minutes later I stepped off the treadmill, sweating and exhausted. I had just done 5.3 kms ! and smashed 503 calories.

I cannot explain how sore my feet were / are. It was totally worth it. There were some happy tears too!

I had quite a few things to do today and found it really hard to walk. Funnily enough my legs are not hurting, just my feet.

I am not sure how my feet will handle the treadmill tomorrow and I am not making any outlandish statements on out doing today's efforts..... whatever happens on that Treadmill tomorrow, I will know what I am capable of and try my hardest.
