Fitness NSVs

It's a perfect day to share some fitness non-scale victories (NSVs).
* Yesterday in my training session, I did 50 seconds straight of jumping jacks, high knees and butt kicks. I've been doing a full minute of squats for quite a while. (My trainer Sal's 5-minute warm up is 1 minute each of jumping jacks, high knees, butt kicks, squats and burpees.We haven't touched burpees yet, but I told Sal that I tried a burpee at home.) When I started my sessions about 4 months ago, I could do about 10 seconds straight of jumping jacks. 
* Last week I went twice to the track to practice running, and my husband and I went again this morning. Today I ran 2 minutes 15 seconds, 2 minutes 30 seconds, then 2 minutes 15 again, and I made it three-quarters of a lap. (Last week, my longest was 1 minute 50 seconds, and a little more than half a lap.)
* After the track, we came home and took the dogs for a mile-and-a-half walk(in the heat). 
* Last weekend, my husband checked over our bikes, and this evening, we went for our first ride. As a kid, I loved riding my bike, but I haven't ridden for years. I've worried about sharing the road with cars, shifting gears, keeping my balance. All of those things went fine. After a slightly shaky start in our driveway and down the hill, my body remembered what to do, and I grinned. 

Biking is harder on the muscles than I remember — but the feeling of the wind in my face was exactly as I remembered.
