I was training for a fall marathon and was on track until I was running about 25k and had a crappy run. It really set me back mentally andthen a knee twist while loading a difficult horse into a tractor trailer did me in. I have just gotten back out on the road and am very glad I have. I am a bigger guy 6'5" 235lbs so marathon running is probably not best suited for me but running is the best calorie burning activity I can do at my own pace on my own schedule. Gained 10-15 when I stopped running a month or so ago but now that I'm back at it I should be able to get that back off.

I used to hate running when I was in the military but have learned to love it as a good time to be alone with my thoughts. I get antsy when I miss too much time on the road.
