Running again after years off. Overweight and starting from zero. For beginners, for comebacks, for anyone who thinks running isn’t for them. Running again.
Sharing the grind, the progress, the setbacks, and the lessons I wish I had known the first time. Overweight. Starting from zero. Blogging the process — the setbacks, the progress, and what I wish someone had told me the first time. For beginners, for people starting over, for anyone who thinks running isn’t for them.

My morning run.

Ok, this is way better for me than yesterday. Running by HR isn’t for me. And the pic is blurry it was an almost night run.

Today I decided to run my heart rate 120-130. Ran avg 124. The run was fine but my knees didn’t like that pace. Anyone have issues if they don’t run a certain pace, their knees get sore?

Today’s run. Changing some things up a bit, diet, strength training, and a little less running. I will see where this takes me.

Felt tired today. Changed up my diet to try and consume more protein and fiber. So it’s been a week. 😂 guess it’s working…⬇️ 5 lbs .

Ran on a flatter course than I’m use to, to test it out.

Found some back stretches that really helped. Had a great stretch session. Started running and first mile was like oh ok! Then just went with it!

Happy I was able to run today. Been out for almost a week because of back spasms.
