Subject: RE: Running sux redux...... Chris
I'm no superman...in fact I'm the posterboy for the 90lb weakling getting sand kicked in his face, however many years ago I joined the armed forces and they made that history. Several years after leaving the army and being an office worker I went for a short run on a treadmill, 20 minutes I thought at a very slow pace......I didn't make it more than 10 before I had to quit. Horrible, simply horrible.....how could I get into such bad shape....that was in August.
Since then I have persisted trying to run, swim and bike on a regular basis....between sore shoulder cuffs, saddle sores, swimmers ear, shin splints I have managed to make progress........eleven miles this past sunday at the earth shattering speed of 11min/mile!.....
Keep with it Pal...all the hard work and pain is worth it in the end....very soon you'll be jogging along thinking about where you were and where you are now and it'll give a great feeling, I for one know YOU can do it.
take care
