Any joggers on this forum ?

I tore up my shoulders lifting weights and really messed one up "Demonstrating" to my son how to ride a skateboard. This is when I decided to get more serious about running.

I run 25 miles a week. I will be doing the Hood to Coast in late August. I clock a little less than 8-minute miles.

I still weigh 15 pounds more then I did in High school...but my blood pressure is "normal".

Hey, Garry, you do it your way and I'll do it mine. I like it when the pretty girls pat me on the head. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

That's great, Bob! Unless, of course, you were a 128-pound "walking stick" like I was (see attached picture). All I could think about was how I could bulk up. Eventually, "bulking" came all too naturally, and too little of it was the good stuff. /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

Now all I can think about is how to trim down, but I never want to see my high school weight again. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I jogged nearly every day at 0 dark thirty for over 20 years. Does that count? My PT test runs averaged 12:20 for 2 miles.

My last jog was shortly before I retired from the Army about 10 years ago. Getting flabby and loving it. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I jog from one end of the basketball court to the other sometimes. Does that count?

To and from the truck if I don't have an umbrella when it's raining, too. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I've noticed a lot of machines have both JOG and RUN buttons on them, and it seems the run button makes the machine go longer than the JOG button. RUN will make it go till you push STOP usually, but JOG only makes it move a little bit.
Why is that?

Scott,

I figured that if our President can find time to get exercise I could too - so since April, 1.5-2.0 miles every morning on the machine...Actually since the doctor read me the riot act. Morning papers and bkfst getting short shrift. This great new habit gets easier all the time, when does the weight start to go?

I'm not much of a jogger, but I am a fairly dedicated walker. I try to hit the gym twice a week to lift weights, then I walk/jog 4 miles on the other days. I take weekends off. Tonight is gym night.
