Making Some Progress

I have a friend who is a personal trainer, and she put together a little program for me to do at the gym. Twice a week I run for an hour on the elliptical, and then 3 days I run for half an hour and do a grouping of weights for 3 sets. Anyway, it is exciting to see how many calories I am burning. Today I burned 683 calories and ran exactly 5 miles. Now I have run more miles in the past, and I am sure there are a lot of you out there who burn more calories than that, but it is exciting to me to see the numbers:)
