Some people at work invited me to a charity race, a 5k, this morning, so I said "what the hell" and went, after about six years of not competing and

It's been...errr....about six years since I ran competetively. In the intervening years I've continued running but only sporadically and only because I like it; so I haven't been training at all.

So, today I got out there and had the best run I've had in years. I came in 13th overall (1st in age group) in about 21 minutes (and change). Not too shabby!

Not too shabby indeed. I have been running for the last two years after 18 years and 50 pounds have passed by. It takes me 21 minutes just to get out of bed!

There is a local race (CIBC Breast Cancer Run) here on October 3rd, and I am the captain for our company team. If I manage anything near 23 minutes I'll be ecstatic. I have no idea how the Pro's run 10K in 18 minutes, thats unhuman.

I don't run...at all. My gf, she likes it a lot. She's all up for a marathon. She is crazy. She wants me to get in better shape. I want to get in better shape. So, I started running (if you can call it that...it's so awful) trying to get in better shape. I mean, yeah, I'm lifting weights and all, but that's not helping my heart so much. So, in March, I'm running the 5k portion of the L.A. Marathon. My gf has decided to run it with me. Of course, she'll finish a good half-hour before me. But now I have something to work toward. Yeah, I know it's not a big deal for some, but it's something for me.

I used to run in High school.......for detention.........for summer school.
But I remember the satisfaction I got from doing that.
Today,I would have to do power walking at best. I think running would be too hard for my heart and ankles. But I'm eating that fucking rabbit food and losing weight a little at a time.
Soon I will see my dick without using a mirror!

I used to be able to run a 20 min 5k before I went to college, quit exercising, and picked up a pack a day habit. Now that I'm done with school, quit smoking, and have free time, I'm aiming at getting back down into the low 20's again. My 5k time has hit a plateau of 27 min. for the last few months though.

Having spent the greater portion of my life being so unfit I was incapable of running it is a great satisfaction that i can now endure running for quite some time.
