Default running and getting into shape....

I am about a year into getting back into shape and running 2.5 miles approximately 5-6 times a week. I don't think I will ever like it the way I used to 30 yrs ago . Anyone else going through the pain?

I wish I could go through the pain lol.

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis my junior year of college, and was forced to retire from running for good.

I tried playing tennis last week for the first time in 16 years against one of my students, but after one serve, my shoulder gave out and is still in pain.

I'm feeling like an old man at 30 - really sucks!

Yes Leon i feel it. I am only 41 but have a bad knee from slo-pitch and a bad back at times. Last year i worked out 6 days a week for 45 min a day, quit drinking and ate a healthy diet(lol). I lost 37 lbs in less than 4 months. Sadly i have not been able to keep up the workouts and gained 75% of it back.
Depending on one's situation, i think that people need to feel healthy in their mind to enjoy life.

Default earlier life

Just turning 50 made me sort of want to get into shape again. I think I have the cardio going ok but need to do some weight training too. It will happen sooner than later, one way or the other. Health is an aspect I think Americans greatly overlook. How many of us remember before all of the gadgets when we were young, in the 60s-70s? Our moms used to kick us out of the house each day in the summer. We would go home for lunch and then back out, always on the run....literally. We played a ton of sandlot baseball and other outside games. Those were the days. Kids just don't do that stuff so much anymore, from what I can tell. I know my 15 yr old doesn't do any sandlot stuff. She plays a lot of club volleyball so gets some exercise but kids today, in general, don't get very much exercise at all.

I run/walk. I go out every day and run, or run for parts, and walk the rest. If my knee is sore, I figure it's better to walk, and walking's good exercise too. I also have been around long enough to know I should do what I can do and enjoy. You should pick what you can and will do for the rest of your life, not the next three days. Walking around the block every day for the rest of your life is far better than running 5 miles for a day for then week than quitting.

P.s., I'd rather take up running in Seattle than Dallas.
