| Introduction | I am in my mid-forties and have decided to get back into shape. In the 1990's I taught Tae Kwon Do (in fact I lived and breathed it), and I was in great shape. After getting a promotion at work, I was working 12+ hours a day sitting at a desk. It left no time for my martial arts, and I began living a very sedentary life. Twelve years went by and I found myself one hundred pounds overweight. I started with a run/walk program, and I have lost about fifty pounds. Losing this weight and getting fit have become top priorities for me. A big inspiration for me was the movie The Spirit of the Marathon. After watching that movie I decided to set a goal of running a marathon in the spring of 2011. After joing a fantastic training group and running hundreds of miles, I ran the Fargo Marathon in May of 2011. I plan to run more marathons and might try an ultra-marathon in 2012. |
