Does walking when your car breaks down count?

I ran XC and track in high school. Didin't do anything in college, still tried to go running every once in a while to keep in shape.

Now i'm starting to run everyday of the week even if it's only 20 mins.
You really notice the difference it makes once you stop, or start running again. All else equal, you have more energy all throughout the day and sleep better. Reason is mostly because the muscle your working the most if your heart. The stronger your heart is, the less it has to work to keep blood flowing when you're just sitting there. This results in your beats per minute at rest being lower, you having more energy all the time, and your heart lasting longer.

I love running. I'm lucky because I have a paved and patrolled bike trail that runs right alongside my business. I run about 10-12K, 3 times a week. I'm a fairweather runner though. I can't run in the cold, but if its 90+ degrees and 100% humidity then I'm running an extra 10km that day.

The last 4 Christmas mornings I've gone running about 25k in Florida. Unfortunately, I'm sidelined at the moment because I severely sprained my foot and tore a lot of tendons in my left foot/ankle and broke off a 1/4" chunk of bone. My personal goal right now is to run on Christmas morning even if it's only for 50 meters.

I need to start running. Gotta get rid of those pounds I put on over summer.

it's an amazing feeling, but just wait til your knees give up the ghost.

mine have started and i'm a decade your junior.

I'm 22, and already pop every time I get up. Dunno if there's anything wrong with them, but it doesn't sound good :(

I ran XC in high school as well. I ran off and on after college for exercise. I mostly run alone, and I don't mind it at all. I almost prefer it especially for tempo runs.

I ran/XC/Track all through highschool, but now that I'm in college.....not so much. I'd like to get back into it, but it's much easier if you have a group of people to run with instead of just yourself.

Took it up on a whim with my wife.
I used to run cross-country in highshool, yet that was 12 years ago.

I stopped biking/running once I got a car(kept with biking but downhill only) and just lifted weights during my college barstar career.

Now, one kid later, we both started running. My wife is a natural at 5'8 and 110lbs...kicks my ass and is faster then I. I'm 6'2 230...6weeks ago I was 245.

Now running 5km 3-4nights a week in about 27-30 minutes.

Started slow, but holy is it ever addictive. I'm hooked!

I'm sure there are some runners here too...
