Fit-to-Fat-to-Fit Blog: A cold run

Goal Weight: 195 lbs.

My oldest son and I went running along the Natchez Trace Parkway and the Ross Barnett Reservoir.  Our goal was four miles.  The sky was a beautiful blue and the sun was brilliant — but it was 37 degrees and the wind was gusting up to 30 mph.  It was chilly.  Very chilly.

My son had a great run. And so did I. We stuck together and he plowed up the hills like they weren’t even there. I was very proud of him.  Heck, I was proud of us.

We ended up running 4.57 miles and had a great time.  A month ago, I couldn’t have run 100 yards.  Change isn’t easy. But it’s possible.  I’m living proof.
