I did it on the treadmill. I do usually run around the park but my son wants to go the gym too. Was quite embarrassing the amount I sweated ( sorry tmi I know) but couldn't stop smiling afterwards. I'm still on a high. I could just about run a bath before I started this an now look at me :)

Go us!! If we could bottle this feeling aye. :D

I don't worry about sweat anymore, it's a badge of honour showing that I'm moving my ass :o)
