I think im going to start running again

I was running 4 to 5 times a week and I really enjoyed it. I was consistent for 6 or 7 months but since I've moved I dont seem to enjoy it as much. I was able to run over 5k and now I can hardly run for 3 mins. I grew out of shape so quickly. It's only been a 4 months. I'm also not comfortable running along the streets. I had a park before that I enjoyed. I'm going to try and suck it up and be consistent but I'm so frustrated in myself. Now it's going to take AGES to get where I was

I used to run all the time.. but I’ve been healing an Achilles for the last year.. finally went to the doctor and they said I need to stretch more often.. go figure.. lol. So now I’m rehabbing it and should be back up to running in about a month or two..😁

@Ninersfan47 I get side stitches. They really piss me off

@DarkSideoftheMoon yes those suck big time.. I really have to watch what I eat before going..

@Ninersfan47 someone suggested strengthening your core and more controlled breathing

@DarkSideoftheMoon yea I heard that too.. but that would require sit-ups and planks.. 😂😂

@Ninersfan47 I hate exercise but I love running and cycling

@DarkSideoftheMoon I’m just starting to get into cycling.. need to find a better seat or more cushion for the butt.. can’t go more than 10 miles without it killing..

@Ninersfan47 yeah that's the thing. Its expensive. Running, you just need a great pair of shoes, really. But cycling is really fun

@DarkSideoftheMoon that’s true and a nice trail to run on. Running in the streets is pretty boring but running through nature is very relaxing

@Ninersfan47 I hate running along a street. Have to go around pedestrians and stop at street corners. I prefer parks and trails. It's why I stopped running, I'm a 40 min walk to the park. I use to live next to one and it was perfect
