W7D1 this week was the hardest run I've ever had on the C25K program. I finished, but only due to sheer stubbornness. My wife, who is usually beside me or behind me, ran way off into the distance. Mentally I started questioning why I was doing this. I just wanted to quit the whole program. Then day 2 came along. I didn't want to run. I was scared. I didn't want to have another experience like my last run. Still, I laced up my shoes and reluctantly headed out the door. I had great run! I got into a nice rhythm, and finished strong. Today's run was even better. My pace was nearly 2 mins. per mile faster on W7D3 than on W7D1. I guess the moral to the story is that we all have bad days, but never let those bad days hold you back from the good days.

Get sum everybody! Everyone here is my inspiration and I thank you. I haven't ran since I got out in 2010. The past couple years have been a slow downward spiral that life sometimes deals you. But I have decided to flip the trash cans upside-down so to speak and take my happy back. I'm not to terribly out of control managing to only top out at 230 at 6ft tall. My formed goals are to drop 30lbs and then work to ad muscle back. We always ran 3mi as part of our fitness test and I was consistent at 20-21 mins. That was also 8 years and 50lbs ago. I stumbled across here and I'm impressed work all the success and encouragement. I can't wait to take this journey with all of you. I've never enjoyed running but I feel like this time it will be different. Happy running everyone and remember that chick's dig scars greatness fades legends last forever and passion is weakness leaving the body hell yeah!
