[Sportsandrec] Holding onto your sited jogging partner

Mon Aug 31 16:01:40 UTC 2015

Hey Jessica,
I am 39. I have some i.t. and hip issues. I roll and stretch. When I began 
two years ago, I couldn't run a hundred yards without stopping. I was the 
heaviest in my history at 250 pounds. I ran three half marathons in twelve 
months and have gotten down to a sweet 220 without the amount of discipline 
I wish I had. I still have the odd pizza, dog, or beer.
