So my goal (besides doing a ton of pull-ups and that will come) my goal from the start was to get back to feeling great while running. i used to run all through the 90's (5Ks to marathon) ... finally the knees just hurt too much and i was focusing on speed as opposed to just feeling great while running. i overdid and paid for it.

Around 2002 or so, my folks got sick and needed attention ... work took more of my time and energy; my priorities shifted from me and my health to others needs. Along with the shift in priorities came an increase in weight. I always worked out, but after i gained the weight i couldn't run or jog or even plod. i dreamt about running though ... So, today at 57 pounds down, i can run again!! Today i did 40 minutes at a somewhat slow pace but i got in about 3 and a half miles in. And i felt great! This was my dream ... wow, awesome.

It's great to feel good.

    I've never been a runner. I am looking forward to being able to walk faster... I do want to do smaller walk/runs eventually but I don't think I will ever run a marathon. Good luck and congratulations on your progress so far!
