If you are as unfit as I am (and this can be quite a challenge), love junk food and have no workout regime whatsoever, you probably know what the 1st workout after a long time feels like.
After hours of coaxing you finally get your lazy bum off the couch, put on some running shoes and get out there with a vengence on last night's double cheese burst pizza. Alas! Within minutes every single aching muscle (some you never knew existed) curses the glutton in you. But it sure does feels good to get back on your feet after a long time and running (literally!).
Now, what makes this one of the truly "Top 100 Moments" is not the workout in itself. Yeah, sure that exercise is good for your heart and all, but remember that weird feeling of accomplishment while nursing your thoroughly sore body?
Remember rising that extra inch in self esteem? (But dont you head out to McDonald's just yet to celebrate) Remember looking in the mirror, and seeing a more desirable version of yourself? Endorphins can be such a high. So yes, treasure that little pain buddies, wear it for a day as a proud medallion for the day's heroics (and hopefully come back for more tomorrow).
After all, all that matters is how you look at yourself, doesnt it?
P.S. Now that exams are finally over, I thinks its time to for me to experience this one again.

I guess I will be receiving stopwatch results soon ;)
