If she can do it, I can do it

So today I went to the gym and started on the eliptical... all the regular elipticals were full so I had to do what I like to call, "the hard eliptical". I don't know why these are so much harder, but they are, and I hate them. But anyway... So Im on the eliptical sweating my ass off and in front of me is a huge black women. She must have been over 300 pounds, just running away. Not a fast run by any means, but running. So I did a 15 minute warm up on the eliptical, went and did abs and legs on the weight machines and then came back to the cardio section to do a really short run and walk to cool down and end my work out. When I got back, the black lady was STILL running. The only treadmill that was open was next to her. I looked at her screen (i hate when people do that but I was so proud of this lady I had to look) and she had run over 3 miles!!! GOOD FOR HER!!! She was sweating to death and was completely out of breath but never once did she stop - and she had a lot more weight to carry than both of us combined. So Ethel (thats what Ive named her in my head) if you can run  that far, so can I. I have recently been running again but am only at 2 miles so I am using Ethel as my inspiration!!! Here is hoping for a 3 mile run this week....  just not tomorrow because Mondays are for spinning =)

Happy start to your week.
