So there is light at the end of this tunnel!

So I finally broke past the stage of not seeing any progress. Well...obviously after 4 months there has been progress...but I finally feel like I am getting to a point where I can see past the pain and achieve a goal I set. I have been working on the stairmaster for the past couple weeks and have not been able to go past 30 minutes on the level I set. For some reason I was able to go for an hour [5 miles] and then run on the treadmill for a mile afterwards. So I'm finally starting to see the light. Two more months...I can't believe it!
