I’m going to keep a running log here, and maybe start offering advice to SS/DJ’s who want to get active in this sport.
I know that being skinny doesn’t necessarily drive the women crazy (some women dig it), but running does boost my morale, confidence, and gives me an outlet to work out my frustrations. To me, this is my inner game. If I’m having trouble in my life, I can escape for a little bit it and helps change my mindset. Running keeps me sharp at work, lean, and forces me to make healthy choices in my diet.
At top form, I was 6-2, 157lbs. my body looked like this: http://imgur.com/HSUL3Nl
I could run a 4:45 mile and 16:23 5K.
To me, running is an unrivaled, exhilarating feeling. I need this back in my life.
I went through some sh!t last year. I was too broken and depressed over my divorce and my cheating/BPD ex-wife to even put my shoes on and go out and run slow for 30 minutes. I hated myself and gained about 10-13 lbs of fat and muscle and completely lost who I was.
Around August of last year I noticed a change in my life and I got strong enough to start up again. I started lifting a bit and playing some soccer. I lost all of my speed and endurance and got injured after running too much too soon, but now I’ve successfully got back into the swing of things and I’m building my mileage back up. Right now, I’m at about 33 miles per week and I plan on building up to 50 miles per week hopefully by the end of the year.
My goal has been to get back to running a 5K just under 17 minutes and I plan on letting posting some of my workouts and holding myself accountable. Right now, I feel like a slob at 165 lbs. I’d like to get back to my racing weight of 160 lbs and get some more defined arms and shoulders. I will post a photo in a few days to give everyone a good idea where I’m at now.
I can also give pointers to those who want to add running to their workout plans.
Thanks.
