And I’m OK with that.

I love getting a full 6.2 in in the morning. Most weekdays I don’t but more and more I do. Not today. Today it was a 5.25 mile run preceded by a .75 mile walk.

On those days when I do “just” a 3.1 mile run I smile. Those are the days when I say to myself “you just exercised today more than you did in all your 30’s!”. Sadly, I mean that. I don’t recall exercising at all in my 30’s.

You will have days when you exercise more and you exercise less. But by making exercise a habit, you are doing more than you did in the past.

So today, a 5.25 mile run at 9:06 minute miles. It wasn’t 6.2, but it WAS 5.25 … and I’m OK with that.

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.
