Maybe you've got more energy these days, or you're more flexible than you're used to. Maybe you've just noticed that you're feeling stronger.

OR maybe it's all of the above, and overall you just feel a lot more kickass.

Along the way, you probably also learned a thing or two about working out — something you didn't know when you started.

Maybe you tried something new that your friend suggested, or maybe it was from someone you overheard at the gym.

You could have also picked it up on a website or in a magazine, or from a book or social media. Maybe you even said to yourself, "HOW HAVE I NEVER READ ABOUT THIS BEFORE?"

Maybe you wish someone told you that, depending on your goals, the best workout routines include weight training.

And that it's OK, because you can always get to it tomorrow.

Maybe you wish you'd known sooner that running with a friend is the only way for it to suck less.

Because running can be difficult, but at least you're adventuring when you're doing it with someone fun. Of course, this could apply to any exercise you do together.

Or, that sleep will be super important to your recovery.
