Goal for MFF! And for my health in general.
10 years ago
I'll start off by saying that I am going to MFF! Gonna see a lot of awesome people there and hope to meet more.
I'm going to work on losing around 10-15 pounds before December and I've already begun the process.
My main method of weight loss will be from running. Up until the beginning of the year I wasn't much active since high school really. I keep my diet in check and still walk from time to time but needless to say I've seen the scale tip upward over the years. Around March I started to give running a shot but I couldn't get into it.
I always had an issue with my left leg around the shin and down around my ankle where I'd lose feeling after running for a short distance and it felt like my foot was a cement block that I was dragging around. It was very discouraging since I WANTED to do it. At first I thought that it was just the shock of being active again and that my body would adapt, it did not. I really gave up after a little more than a week because I wasn't getting any progress.
Fast forward to last week.
I felt that surge of 'what the hell' and decided I'd give things another go. I took things slower this time and started off by speed walking and upping the distance more than my normal walks. At first I was getting the odd deadness feel when I tried running short distances but I figured I'd just try until the inevitable happened. Oddly it subsided one night, and two nights later I went for a distance run of a little over a mile without any issues at all. I'm not sure why it's not happening this time but it's not a fluke. I went running last night, AND tonight because I've been feeling outstanding after I finish running. So far things are great.
I'm in pretty great shape enough as it is. I don't have any chest pains when I run, no discomfort in my legs at all but I am pacing myself with how long I run for so I don't injure myself or cause any long term damage.
So far things are looking good and I hope to reach my goal.
