Runners blog #4

So it's been officially over a year since I started my new active lifestyle and quite a lot has changed over the year. First and foremost I've dropped 70 pounds, I've completely changed my eating habits, I've eliminated my high blood pressure and cholesterol as well as my need for those medications. A year ago I couldn't run more than a few minutes let alone a mile and just this morning I knocked out 8.5 miles in 1:30 and could have easily done more if I didn't have to get home so the boys could hunt for easter eggs. Running and exercising has not only changed me physically but also mentally and spiritually to an extent. I have a much deeper appreciation for life these days, I'm enjoying my life a lot more and am a lot less stressed out. Running allows me to enjoy the outdoors and gives me an awesome outlet to relieve all that stress and unlike MMA no one is trying to punch me in the face.
