As I suspected, nothing has changed in the last 2 years, and it still sucks.
I need to do it though. I got way too fat since I stopped. Crazy how that works, isn't it? |

If it's what you want to do to drop weight go for it. As much as it sucks. It's really a great way to stay healthy.
I lost 35lb of body fat on an elliptical just because of the joint Impact. Now I'm running trails and streets... and the occasional Ragnar relay and Spartan Races. Aroo. |

I can't wait to run again. I've had both knees operated on this year and can't run. Hopefully can start again in November. The old lady just ran the 1/2 marathon at Holden and really enjoyed it. She stopped running about six years ago (right before the first kid, actually) and started back training for the 1/2 the end of June this year. It was a neat run - the course went out over the bridge and then back across it. She's going to do the whole bridge series next year - Holden, Sunset, Oak Island, and OIB. http://coastalraceproductions.com/big-ass-medals-race-series/ That's a long way of saying that if you like running, you ought to give those a shot. It helped her having an actual goal to train towards, and she really enjoyed the actual marathon. |

A couple years back I went from couch potato to doing 2 Tough Mudders in a year, then slowly back to couch potato Doing another TM next year so, time to get up and going again. I like that doing events like that gets me motivated, but I hate that it takes having to do an event like that to get me motivated too. |
