Any of you guys exercise.....

My gf doesn't like me jogging by the house after an attempted mugging .. I get bronchitis easy so in the winter it's treadmills. Summer time I find a track.

Ya...being that I'm old I do have difficulties running on hard surfaces (concrete and asphalt) so I pretty much do all my running/jogging on trails. If anyone here hikes Castlewood Canyon then they've most likely seen me run by with my backpack and the hose from my hydration system bouncing off my forehead....or running down the north side trying my best to go as fast as possible and still not roll an ankle (again).

My wife has mentioned her concern when I get in my 10k walks (try to get one in at least every night). I always have AT LEAST a knife (I pack a folder along with my multi-tool in my checked luggage when traveling) on me and have no issues with self defense....My only comment to her when she speaks up with her concerns is "I'm insured and at least I'll go out fighting."

I was a fat slug over the holidays but I'm getting back to it. Running everyday, and lifting every other. I need start lifting everyday alternating between upper and lower body. That race might give me a little kick in the a$$ to step it up.

Have you thought about barefoot running? I've had great success with it (I have minimalist running shoes from Merrell) and thought it might help you as well.

I crashed my motorcycle a few years ago and now ride a titanium rod. They drove the rod through the center of my tibia and had to go in through the knee. When I got done with PT and started running again my knee hurt and I was limited to only a few miles. I was starting to get concerned about the damage I might be doing to the knee so I did a little research and found out about barefoot running. It's given me the chance to really run again and I don't have any knee issues at all.

Holy crap dude - Really? A ti rod?? OUCH!

I'm a bit ignorant with regards to barefoot running...although I am cringing even thinking about it....Let me do some research and give it a try!

By all means, if you're interested in running this and register for Sunday please feel free to hit me up.

I should clarify that I don't run without shoes, although some people do. I use the Barefoot Run Trail Glove from Merrell.
