Born-Again Runner
Backgrounder, dated January 9, 2004: I'm in my 62nd year, having carried 242 to 246 pounds on my 6'1-1/2" frame for too many years. My high-school weight was 176, so I could drop up to 70 pounds, if I could. Today, I ran for the first time in years, almost three minutes--twice! I've been born again. Alleluia!

WALK/RUN 4/1 TREADMILL 40 MINUTES
It started to rain heavily as I drove out of the garage, so I made a Uee and went into the gym. I wasn't dressed for rain.
One thing about the treadmill, it is relentless. You sure don't get to slack off the intended pace.
My beginner pace again is 20 minutes per mile walking and up to 14 per mile running, if I can call jogging slowly running.
