2. Don't get burn out :-) Personal:
I herniated/ruptured a disk (L4/L5) in my back in December, 2005. I told my orthopedic surgeon I wanted to start running. He said "You'll never run again.". What a challenge! So...I started running.
Since then I've lost about 50 pounds, ran 13 marathons and a number of other races.
I am still a clydesdale runner (over 200 lbs), have a large frame, big bones, and not built like a runner at all. I'm not fast. I mostly run to have some time to myself and keep in shape.

After flying to Orlando yesterday with the family, Conner and I woke up and ran a little over 5 miles around the hotel. It was fun running--warm and nice.
Then we took a shuttle to the port and boarded the Disney Dream cruise ship. 5 nights cruising in the Bahamas.

Woke up on the cruise ship, got Conner up, and we ran on the running track on the Disney Dream. Big ship--2.5 laps equaled 1 Mile. The boat rocking a little made it a little slower run for me. Conner wasn't really affected.
For fun I used my GPS. It logged somewhere around 15 miles (The ship was moving). Actual laps we only did 5.25.

Went to Castaway Key (Disney's Private Island). They had a 5K fun run. It was nice.
Conner easily one the race. I was right behind another runner. They gave us Disney water bottles for competing. Later they left certificates of completion in our cabins. Nice fun run--water stations were great.
Afterwards, we enjoyed the beach with the family.

Last day of the Disney cruise. We stopped again at Castaway Key. They had another 5K race in the morning. I didn't really push it that hard at all, but took 2nd place (after Conner of course). About 50 people from the ship ran it this time. I ran it a little faster than on Saturday. There were certificates in our cabins at the end of the day. Afterwards, we went snorkeling and enjoyed the beach with the family.
In the late afternoon I did another 8 miles on the ship. Nice and slow.
