6.5 miles before work

It’s not fast but it’s not slow. I try to get to the gym every morning before work (and weekends). It clears my mind, gets me acclimated for the day, burns some stress.

Often times it’s 5 miles. Sometimes it’s just a walk plus the stairmaster. If I am feeling some pain, sometimes it’s the elliptical.

But going everyday is a habit. Years ago I was embarrassed to go to the gym because of how I looked. But I’ve learned: people in the gym want you to succeed. I’m not the first person to say it, but if you are getting up, getting it done, putting yourself out there on your fitness journey … I’m rooting for you.

If this is your first day on your fitness journey, NEVER be embarrassed about how you look. You started. Now make it a habit!

6.5 before work. Make exercise your habit.

Living in the Hudson Valley of New York State, at age 40 (almost 41), I had a health scare and had to make serious changes in my eating and exercise habits. This is the story of how, I went from Morbidly Obese to being a Marathon Runner and ran 12 marathons in 12 months. After I ran several more, I did something I never imagined possible: I am an Ironman.
