Track?, Cross-Country?, Distance?
Are there any runners here?

I run occasionally. I got out of the habit this winter, so I'm trying to get back into condition.

You look like an old roommate I had. His name was Dave P. He had a crazy gf who was bipolar named Melissa.

I've been running 4 or 5 days a week for the past 2 months I run 1.5 miles in 15 minutes
I've been training for a job promotion.
I used to run 35 miles a week in my 30's. 7 miles 5 days.
Then in my 40's I cut down to 2 miles a day 5 days.
When I hit my 50's my chiropractor showed me my lower spine was fused together
from all the pounding, I went to him in a lot of pain.
For the past 7 years I mainly go to the gym and lift weights and maybe some elypitical machnes.
But I want to take a test to be a deputy sheriiff in another county so now I am running
5 days a week but its on a treadmill so far its not bothering my back.
When I ran 35 miles a week, I weighed 170.
When I ran 10 miles a week I weighed 180.
When I stopped running at 50 and only lifting weights I went to 199.
Part of the weight increase is due to age increase. I'd like to get back to 170.
In school I ran track and cross country.
I liked the hurdles and dashes but they had me do relays and distances also.

I quit!
I used to run a lot and entered a lot of 10ks. When I was on my way out of the Watchtower I would some times go running rather than attend the Sunday meetings. It was very liberating. Eventually I started getting a lot of injuries as a result of all the pounding so as much as I loved it I had to give it up. Now I kind of like Jaguarbass I go to the gym and work out on the elypical machine, swim and life weights. It is a lot easier on the body. Some people can run their whole lives without developing problems but a lot of people do a lot of damage to their bodies by running too much.

I used to be. 13 years ago I ran a marathon. I've gotten lazy and fat since then. Recently I've begun walking and hope to graduate to running again as I'd love to run another marathon.
