Personal:

I got back into running in January 2007. Lost 35 pounds and keep trying to follow my high school track/cc son around. Soon found out that coaching was a better choice. Ran semi seriously in high school ( 4:30 ish mile), but had done no running in 29 years. I think I'm back and complain heavily when not allowed to run.

Take Shape for Life helped me lose 25 pounds after I had been a runner for a number of years and my half marathon time clearly reflected that.....I must add that I feel and look way more like a runner.

Thirty five minutes on the elliptical then 10 minutes on the treadmill. First actual running since new Years eve. Just about killed me aerobicly but did not bother the knee or foot much at all. Will slowly try to get back into running mode as injury allows.

Ran a little over thirty minutes at about a 9:00 pace. Hard due to lack of running but no problem with the knee or foot. That said both are sore tonight. I think I will stay with the one day run one day elliptical for now until I see what 25-40 miles a week will look like in a month or so.

Walked 2.5 miles at 4.2 mph at 15% slope. Then did 2.5 miles in 20 minutes on the elliptical. Both knee and foot hurt a little.
