13,000 steps at 9 AM

My typical morning goal is to have 10,000 steps in by the time I set foot in the office. This morning, I was happier to have a bit over that. Started the treadmill with .8 mile walk followed by a 6.2 mile run. Seeing the results on the scale last week, along with fitting into a smaller size pant comfortably this week, really helps one’s mental health as much as physical health. While I have significant drama at work, I find that vigorous exercise in the morning is truly the best antidepressant to start what will likely be a rough day. I check my scale weekly on Thursday mornings. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

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.
