Since November I've lifted and ran a mile 3-4 times a week...I need to step up the running though. I never realized that once you get back into some sort of shape the stress and worries seem to go away.

You run five miles every other day with a 65-lb pack?! You're an animal!

Kids, don't try this at home.

Knees are always an issue. I have not began to "hurt" but you can tell that there is some real strain going on down there. A good pair of shoes always fixes this. The hint is to find a running/cross trainer, because the higher amount of cushioning of the crosstrainer helps big time with the added weight.

The funny thing is I can run that, but cant squat worth a damn :(

I'm the same way. I run 5 miles a day with good running shoes. But If I do full squats my knees are messed the next day. So I do half squats and lunges.

Update:

- First week went as planned.
- Ran 2 miles yesterday in 16:30. Although I was running for distance and not time, I would have liked to run it faster, but running with my dad usually slows me down. I had a lot of energy left when I was done so I'm sure I could have run it much faster.
- Knees feel great so far. My orthopedic doctor and physical therapist have both told me that my hamstrings are way too tight which can cause knee and back pain so I have been pretty conscious about stretching regularly.

It's not so much the shape that relieves the stress as it is the getting into shape. Exercise causes the body to produce endorphins, which are the feel-good compounds in your body (and produce similar effects to opiates, if wikipedia is to be believed: clicky-> Endorphin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

I also remember my PT saying something about proteins and fat being shed to make room for the muscle gained, and that having to do with the feel-good syndrome, but that might just be because you're happier with your body's shape and feel more confident in general. *shrug*

To quote Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, "Exercise releases endorphins... endorphins make you happy... and happy people just don't kill people!"

Oh, where to start...

In my prime (as much of a "Prime" as it was) I was 175 lbs, muscular, and in pretty good shape. 6 years of marriage, one deployment, and gallons of beer later... I'm not so much of the "prime" I used to be in.

I hate running. No, I ABHOR running. However, I love the feeling afterward. I hate getting up early, but I get more done in the mornings as opposed to evenings. I have no motivation in the afternoon.

So, I suppose I need to set a goal to get up at 5 AM every morning. I generally go to bed around 10, so that gives me 7 solid hours of rest/sleep. So, here are my goals:

Current Weight: 247 lbs

Week 1: Wake up at 5 am consistently. Run 1 mile for distance
Week 2: Run 1.5 miles for distance MWF, Muscular Strength T-Th-Sat
Week 3: Run 2 miles for distance, Continue Schedule in Week 2 for MS.
Week 4: Run 2.5 Miles for distance

I will. I might also add that I've completely cut Sodas and Coffee out of my diet... and have dropped 7 lbs since Monday. Water is your friend.
