Impressive,over 6 miles is no joke
I used to love checking into this thread back when it was active: Runner's log. Maybe we could get it started again! We used to run and take sweaty photos of ourselves to post! Can’t beat that, lol!

Yeah we all need to get healthy that’s just the name of the game and something as simple as having some encouragement like be able to post your accomplishments and hearing a few kind motivating words goes a long way

Also almost no ads on that app either
I was able to walk 4 km several times this week and close all three rings which made me so happy. It’s really hard for my watch to register “exercise minutes” so when we went walking around town I got tons of steps but no exercise minutes…so closing that ring took a lot of work.
I hope I can keep it going this week but today was mostly sitting in the car and will be doing the same again tomorrow.

I want to start running so bad. I am getting rather pudgy in sobriety but I also miss the endorphins. I always do better with a place to check in. Yes I’d like to trim up but I also want to feel as good physically as I do mentally in my sobriety. Does anyone have tips on how to get started?

Hey Ash I think it’s as simple as starting in a flat area ,like a school track and walk a little and run a little til before you know it you are running more that walking,get you a good walk /Run app so you can see your gains.I to like to have a place to log runs it is great motivation.Best of Luck to you now lets get in shape 
Try the Samsung health app, it’s very accurate and easy and works all day long without needing to turn it on
Here is the basic formula for a great training plan.
- Train three days a week.
- Run or run/walk 20 to 30 minutes, two days a week.
- Take a longer run or run/walk (40 minutes to an hour) on the weekend.
- Rest or cross-train on your off days.
- Run at a conversational pace.
- Consider taking regular walk-breaks.
