Exercise question...

I hear ya mouschi. I love running too. Used to be a hater as well but now I do it regularly and have even started doing some local races. My favorite has been the Warrior Dash which included mud, obstacles, a pong, etc. It's nice having an event to work toward. After a while you start thinking about that and performance and stop thinking about weight loss.

Ran 6 miles the other night, then came back to some situps / pullups. While walking, don't be afraid to jog a block or 2. If you get tired, then stop. If you feel energized again, continue - do this until you can run it all :)

I did start to kind of jog. I can go about an 1/8 of a mile before I have to go back to walking. I'm down to 220 so I hope that by 210 or 200 I can run a mile or more.

You will. Just keep at it and build up slow. Remember that muscles get in shape faster than tendons and ligaments so make sure and do several workouts at the same amount of running before increasing.

Great advice, thanks.
