I was 5'11" 248lbs, and I broke a sweat walking to the corner (less that 5 minutes away). I joined a Learn To Run clinic offered by a retailer in my community and wasn't sure if I was going to have a heart attack or do intervals of walk 2min run 1 minute. 10 weeks later I had run 7km (just under 5miles) doing intervals of run 10 min walk 1minute. My first organized running event was the Run For The Cure in Ottawa, and I was the last of my gang to see the finish line. But when I got there (tears in my eyes, which has become a finish line tradition for me) my clinic instructor & friends were there cheering the runners across the line. I am plannin my first marathon in May 2008, and I'm currently about 230lbs. I know running has changed my life and this program reminded me of where my journey started. Runners Rock!

Getting along without the spouse is tough but doable. I am finding that out now-a-days. Perhaps the lovely Mrs. A can send a care package of pancakes my way this week for my post-20 mile feast. Yes.
