The nutritionist at my surgeons office and I were talking some time back (really she was talking and I was just listening, thinking yea right) about me doing some kind of "impact cardio" as she called it, to help with longterm health of bones, etc. I haven't ran in over 20 years,..at Ft. Bliss, TX in 1993 to be exact and I did NOT like it back then. But I see so many people running and hear lots of good health benefits from it. And I read on here from some of the fine folks about how good they feel after running.....Hmmmm, what am I missing out on? I cycle a decent amount now and I feel healthier than I EVER have in my life....could I possibly tolerate running...let alone ENJOY it? I wanna find out! "Mix things up a little" as some of the most successful folks describe on here. So this morning after I got home from work, I said "ITS TIME"...time to see If I could make a go at it. We used to HAVE to run 2 miles back in those days, so I said that's gonna be todays goal.....I really didn't think I'd ever run the whole two miles. Now to you Pro's, my pace was probably laughable...but I did it. "Ran" the entire 2 miles without stopping. I think I shall continue to do this running thing, at least occasionally....not just because of what the NUT said....but from all the good things I hear about it from folks on here. From folks just starting out, those doing a "5KM", to people I see doing marathons on here and all in between.....Thanks for the motivation!! http://connect.garmi...ivity/346478133 Distance: 2.00 mi Time: 22:25 Avg Pace: 11:11 min/mi Avg HR: 163 bpm Calories: 382 C
