Born-Again Runner . . . sort of
Backgrounder, dated January 9, 2004: I'm in my 62nd year, having carried 242 to 246 pounds on my 6'1-1/2" frame for too many years. My high-school weight was 176, so I could drop up to 70 pounds, if I could. Today, I ran for the first time in years, almost three minutes--twice! I've been born again. Alleluia!

GYM 30 MINUTES

A half-hour is what it takes to bike 5 mins, work my way around the universal machine, and then bike another 5 mins. On the machine, I'm aiming for 30 reps for each exercise, as that's what the sheet on the wall says is best for weight loss.

And weight loss is what I need most. That 246 pounds the other day was scary.

Hey, if I lost a pound a week, I would get down to my high school weight by my 65th birthday--which would be quite an accomplishment, probably even more satisfying than running an ultra again.
