Thanks for the kudos Metroknow. It’s great to see that you find my story inspiring. I find yours inspiring and that’s the beauty of the blogosphere. We all get to cheer each other on.

Thanks to everyone for your comments so far – and my apologies for the typos – too many tabs open, and an overly aggressive auto-save feature got me in trouble.

@Paunchiness: I’m really glad that you’ve found the post inspiring – that really is one of the reasons that I read Andrew is Getting Fit so regularly. He’s really encouraged me to get back to it as well.

@Tom: I know what you mean. I used to feel the same, but for some reason once I started bumping up the time and distance, I started to enjoy it.

@Christine: Hi Christine! I’m glad you like the map – I’m going to make it a regular feature. I’m definitely making progress, but have a long way to go. But, I am really “craving” that run time now, which is key for me. I am worried about the winter months destroying that motivation, but maybe if I get a treadmill it will help.

Love the map of your running route. Way to go. You must be getting into great shape and starting to feel the benefits. That in and of itself is a great motivator. I am past the age where running is a good idea but there are other great things I can do to keep fit. I love biking and walking. Christines last blog post..Soon The Snow Flies...Way To Soon!

Unfortunately, just running is not one of my favorite things. I don’t mind it all while playing sports, but just straight running is not my idea of fun. However, I would like to try to get into it due to its many benefits, including getting myself into better shape.

I’ve been talking about taking up running for a long time now. My wife ran cross country back in the day and I think with a little coercion I could get her to be my running partner. Your post helped me make the decision. I am going for it. I’ve tried it in the past but never got good enough at it to make a difference. I’ll stick with it this time. Thanks.

I do run. And I’m returning to this habit after few years long break – I have setup my blog to keep me more motivated (making goals public results with much stronger commitment apparently).

Mostly I do that it to have some time to think freely (with 3 children at home it is sometimes hard to gather thoughts )

Of course I want to be more fit and watching how I make progress is very satisfying.
