    The best shape I've been in, in my life, was when I was following the FBI physical test. I've never really been into weight lifting, so I likely won't clog up this thread. Personally, I've found that just running a lot won't really get me to lose weight anymore. Not at the pace I run anyway. I think that minimum weight lifting (even if it's my own body weight) would be enough to get me over the bump. Final comment, I've been running for a few years, but now that I taught my daughter how to ride a bike, and dragged my wife out for a bike ride, everyone finally realized how much fun it is to go as a family. I can't tell you how excited I finally am to be the slowest one.

    EDIT: Belly, I really like that workout you posted. May have to try it. Anyone ever tried incorporating a pull-up into a burpee? Really burns you up I bet.

    Zero motivation to go fast when I run alone all the time. My kid trying to pass me on her bike and me holding her off was great for me tonight. By myself I never would have kept up the pace for that long.
    Plus, I guess it depends on what you consider to be fast. I think the fastest 5K I've ever run was something like 25 minutes and that was 4 years and 25ish lbs ago.

    Speed doesn't matter THAT much.... Just get out there and do it...
