I guess I call that achievement.

Recently I have just been happy to get to the gym for 3 days a week. It is amazing how you have so little time when the real world starts to get nutty.

What's your best ever achievement through committing yourself to exercise?

For example, have you exercised and gone on to win an event or set a PB that you are particularly proud of?
