Just a general thread about running. How’s your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

    Over the last few years I’ve focused on just gym time, but I used to run ~30 miles a week, with some pretty heavy elevation changes. Anyway, I bulked up and put* on a good deal of fluff on top of that for a few years. Since my elbow started hurting, and a little depression I’ve given up the gym and started running again. I’m at roughly 20 miles a week, for two months, and I feel like I’ve dropped 10-15 pounds. I don’t have a scale, but I’m wearing my old clothes and belts again. So, I feel pretty good. It’s helping with the depression too, that and not drinking recently.

    Edit: I’m also signing up for 5Ks. I only missed one due to depression, so I’m doing pretty good sticking to them. Three so far, one next weekend.
