Didn't stop

Ran the "hill" again

I feel like this is a lot more mental so far than anything

Only fear is quiting

The pain in the legs has been real but not even close to the hard part!

It was super hot today so I ran real real late.. might need a gun if I run this late in the future JK

Great run!!! You're already seeing progress just keep with it and you will start to really enjoy it. Try going early mornings if you can...the coolness and quiet is really enjoyable.

Thanks Curt! I appreciate you having the ability to get me started. I will try to help someone else in the future like you have.

If I run in the morning I will see all these super runners. I hate running past people with a "stride" I GOT NO STRIDE bro. (: I will do it though soon. BTW What is the proper stride and running rhythm? Can you even explain it?

Also I am still steady at 170lbs and eating like a bum. You gave me the impression diet is not part of the deal. I think I heard or understood you wrong? Is there a diet I should think about and should I even care?

Right now I would say just run whatever feels comfortable for stride. Eventually you will worry about your foot strike and arms but for now it's hard so just get comfortable.

Diet is important. I just don't stick to die hard diets. What I do is just eat things that are making me feel better when I run. A lot of sandwiches and pastas with little greasy foods. The cleaner you eat the better you feel when running. The more I run the more I don't want certain types of foods, you'll see what I mean.
