Eric,
I recently found the inspiration to get fit again.
I want to get back to my highschool 75-odd kilo range. I think I'm somewhere between 85 and 90, now. Maybe more, and, that worries me.
I have had a gym membership for as long as I could remember, but, really didn't have any motivation to go.
I've since lost the reason why I started, but, I'm continuing with it as it's helping me deal with things.
I ran a marathon a few years ago and completely stopped exercising after that. I want to run another one, this year or the next. I use an app on the iPhone called RunKeeper which keeps track of all your running/rowing/biking, etc., anything that would require a GPS track of where you've been, it records it.
I'm not running on the road yet, I will do, soon, but, I've been manually entering data from the 4-days a week cardio session that I'm doing at the gym. Each time you beat a milestone, such as conquering furthest distance, or speed, or what have you, it sends you an email to congratulate you. You click on some links in the email and it provides you with a graphical representation of how you're doing; how many kilometres you've run in a week, a month, etc.
I'm going through a rough time at the moment, however, in the last week or so, the emails have started piling through, and, the motivation is slowly coming back.
Congratulations on your success, so far. : )
Thanks.
H
