I've been doing pretty well lately. I've lost 29 lbs so far this year, and my VO2 max got up to 36 today for the first time in a long time. I know that's not a great number for athletic people, but it's great for me. I ran a 5k last Sunday and came in second in my age class (31:41), which I was very happy about. I'm going to start working my distances back up to start running half marathons again.

More importantly, I've noticed great improvement with less pain in my body. I'd wake up every morning with back pain, especially if I slept on my stomach at some point in the night. It's been present for 20 years. It would ease up as I got up and moving so I just assumed it was part of getting older. However, I've noticed in the last week I've started sleeping much better through the night, and when I wake up in the morning there is no pain. I find myself poking at the spot on my lower spine where the pain use to be wondering if the lack of pain there is some temporary fluke or something that could last. Seems like stretching is helping here as it's the only thing that has changed. Running wise, I went out yesterday for a 3 mile run. First time I've had zero knee pain in 2 years. Hoping it keeps up and I can get back into the 5-7 mile range a few times a week. We'll see how it continues. |

Over stressing will eventually lead to slower or even degrading gains and more susceptible to injury. |

For running, I am apparently a big pussy because training "heavy" for running and high heart rate stuff just wasn't working. It's a miracle I didn't have a cardiac event the last 3 months since my triglycerides and good cholesterol are trash. |
