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.

I have had for the last 10 days the worst bout of the flu in many, many years. I will not bother with the details except no running Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thurs or today if I had not pretended I was racing for the gold to finish my 3.5 miles in less than 35 minutes. I am glad it's gone and I can breath, live and run again. The run actually helped clear my fully dysfunctional lungs, at least enough that going up the stairs doesn't require five minutes of rest before trying to find the route back down. I can finally say tomorrow looks better than today.

Perfect sunny winter day!. Cold, clear and no wind. I wish my lungs were working so I could have really taken advantage of the day. As it is I do feel lucky to make it through a very, very slow 7.2 miles in 1:08. My lungs, no matter how slow it seems to be happening, are better than yesterday and the uncontrolled coughing is no only occasional.
