Great question.. I used to run in high school when I was on the soccer team. I was always skinny but when I went to university I got away from exercise for the most part. A few years ago I was close to 200lbs and my knee would bother me etc. I had a bad diet and I figured I would fix the problem as soon as the kids were both in school and I had more time. I started in november of 09 by eating right and doing some walking, I noticed my knee no longer hurt as much and I started to lose weight. I was content with that until my neice died. I traveled to her funeral and as I saw her 6 year old son I told myself that there are things outside my power but also some I can control. I vowed that I would do more to stay healthy, no gaurantee that something might not happen but the things I had control over I would control. My walking got faster and faster, finally I just said the hell with it and started running, I became obsessed with it after I got that first runners high and started doing more and more, I could not help myself. It relieved a lot of stress and made me feel great. Now I am at the point where I have to control the running as much as I control everything else. It clears my head. Now running is a part of my morning ritual, just like getting up and getting dressed.
