Comment Good shape? (Score 1) 87
I run around 25-35 miles a week. Almost every day. I started getting serious about it halfway thru the pandemic. It has done wonders for my well-being. My slow weight gain thru adulthood accelerated the first year of shutdown, and I felt like shit. I probably briefly crested into BMI-defined obesity. I started by riding an indoor bike and slowly introduced running, then slowly ramped up mileage the last 20 months or so. Lost about 20 lbs so far and could probably lose another 20. Itâ(TM)s become an enjoyable habit/hobby, but itâ(TM)s tough to make time for it. The hardest part is starting, and then starting after stopping due to life (travel, work, family, illness). A lot of it is mental. But I know I feel my best when Iâ(TM)m exercising nearly every day, so that motivates me. And not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
