[Haven't ran in YEARS]

I'm 41.  I feel your pain!  You got this though!  Yesterday was horrid.  I just hate running.  BUT...I want to learn to like it.  Kind of like brussels sprouts.  Hated them as a kid...but when done right, they're delicious!

[Where did skinny Minnie go? Oh. I ate her.]

Helloooo!  I am new here. Not new to running of course.  I did 8 years in the Marines!  I know about running! Wanna know what I know about running?  I hate it. It's hard.  It sucks. It hurts.  

However...it is an amazing way to get and stay in shape.  I thought I was just 19 yesterday.  What happened!?! I refuse to be an old lady in poor health.  I quit smoking.  I cut way back on drinking (I live in Grand Rapids, MI. Beer City, USA. Soooo many choices!) and here I am...hoping to learn to love running.  At least I will love what it does for my health and this weight I have found attached my bod.  Lol!!!  Please help me remain positive!
