I am going to drag my fat ass down to the gym in 5 minutes and try to run two miles. If I'm not around tomorrow it is just because this board is slow and nothing happens here.

Take your time.
Please.

Congrats on not keeling over.

Thanks. I ran for half hour, I am pretty sure I shook down some ceiling tiles. It was like Jurassic Park with the glass of water all over again.

I THOUGHT I felt a small, long-lasting earthquake yesterday!
Just kidding. I wouldn't/couldn't run 2 miles unless the townspeople were chasing me with pitchforks so I really shouldn't tease.

Teasing is good, it makes me feel bad about myself, and then I spend my lunch hour sobbing in the men's room, but then after I eat a really big lunch and four snickers and feel a lot better about everything and it only strengthens my resolve to keep going.

That's great. You have to start somewhere.
Every time I try to get back into running full time, or at least more frequently, my knees give me a bit of trouble. :S

I am slightly exaggerating my level for fun - I did 2.4 miles in 30 minutes. Not great, but not horrible considering I haven't run in a year. I'm signed up for a half marathon on May 2nd to provide me some motivation.
Have you tried better shoes? I can tell when my shoes need to be replaced because my knee and hip will hurt after about a mile.

It's just that I've been running on and off for about 24 years, plus all the other abuse I've given my knees with weight training and martial arts. I try to just do what I can and ignore the pain as much as possible.

Stupid age and stupid human bodies deteriorating. This is why I want to be a robot. That and cybersex.

Amen to that. :lol2:

I'd want to be a robot so my dance moves would actually look somewhat relevant.

I think the way it works is that if you were a robot then when you dance you'd have to do The Human
Run Fatboy Run - JCW - 02-18-2010
Excellent point. I knew those months spent perfectly the Macarena would come in handy, I just didn't realize I'd have to wait til I was a robot to look cool doing it.

what running shoes do you all have?
Run Fatboy Run - squirt - 02-19-2010
I've switched from Saucony to Asics about a year or so ago. I really like the Asics.
Run Fatboy Run - WoolyGoat - 02-19-2010
I had Brooks and loved them. Switched to Saucony...sometimes I love them, other times not so much.
Run Fatboy Run - squirt - 02-19-2010
Try Asics next time you're in the market for a new pair. I made my husband try them and he loves them.
