This is my story. I'm training for my next race and beyond and would like to go from the back of the pack to somewhat middle of the pack.

Starting Over
How hard! It's been about 7 months since I did any kind of exercise. I've gained 20+ pounds and feel like crap. I keep saying tomorrow I'll start but it comes and goes. This past weekend I ran for the first time, a short 1 mile run and I had to push myself to make it a mile. For the next 3 days I hurt! How do you get back up and get going? HELP
Sign up for a race. Have a goal to reach for. Maybe Emerald pointe tri? It is a good sprint and their would be plenty of time to train for it. If your not up for a tri right now, maybe do a Half marathon in October or November.
I'm just an average middle age guy that is trying to get his life back. One day I looked up and didn't recognize myself; I was fat, bald, and attached to the couch. I have a wife, son, and dog who I love and they love me. I will turn my life around starting with my health.

You need to make it your lifestyle. Put it on the calendar and do it. Do what you love. For you I would start with getting on the bike. You CAN DO IT!
