Great! It sounds like it is a big milestone to you, so don't knock it!
I know just what you mean. I love those moments when it just seems to come together - I can do it, I can do it... I DID IT!

i am so proud of myself today. it had been raining all week, so i got on my trainer and rode while i watched a video, today i finally got out. i got about 60 ft past the original point. i was so thrilled. i love seeing the progress. i honestly did not think i would, b/x when i have gone to the gym, i never saw much progress. now if only i could have some toned legs, i'd be all set.

Keep on spinning your...self up that hill and I'll bet you'll get some toned legs, sure enough.

You are doing so well and your legs are working on getting toned, give them time.
