I probably look better than I feel. The temperature outside is about 38 degrees F. It was misty and has been raining off and on all day. I can feel the cold wetness in my lungs and it doesn't feel very good right now as I struggle to intake air - even now at about 40 minutes after my run.
I know my health is centered around my food intake - yes, I KNOW THIS!!! Still, my non-disciplined, wanting, needing, carelessly manufactured diet of late has been atrocious. I've always thought, "I'll just get serious about running again and the pounds will come off". Well, I'm 43, almost 44 years old, and they just don't come off so easy anymore.
My three year old daughter, Rachel, recently grabbed my double chin and said, "Daddy, what's this?" I said, "That's just my beard," and she insistently said, "No, what's THIS?" while pulling my double chin. Now if that's not a wake-up call, I'm not sure what is!
So, after this long Thanksgiving weekend of overeating and indulging, I'm recommitting myself. I have to be better for myself, for Susan, for my kids... Today I started the 5/3 Riverbank Run 25k training schedule.
Remember this feeling - tired, hard of breath, FAT, unhealthy, dragging - and time to go to work!
