For the first time in 1year+...

I decided to get back in shape about 2 months ago and have been doing some HI strength training, while ignoring cardio for the time being. So today on a whim i decided to start my cardio phase. I ran 1 lap of one of several natural circuits near my house, got to the end and decided i wasnt feeling the burn enough, so i did another lap. That absolutely KILLED me, but i was so proud of myself for not slowing to a walk at any point and pushing myself to do another lap (which involves going past my house, with its shower, comfy chairs and shade beckoning me...what a test of willpower eh ) All in all i guess i ran 2 miles or so. Smoking every day for the last year or so did not do me any favours. im on a break from that too now. Also feels good! BTW i am not overweight so i cant claim a HUGE victory....But im happy with it and i guess thats what matters

Just thought i would share, will try and update with times when i next do a run.

Great job man, keep it up. That's the kind of accomplishment that says, "and I'll do it tomorrow too"

Yep, instead of 'Fuck it, i'll do it tomorrow'.

Well done.
