Life Changing Events

Went to the doctor and found out that my cholesterol is high. I guess it's bad when your blood has the same triglyceride count as Crisco Shortening. I am looking for advice on how to start running? I have been a firm believer that that running was only used to evade cops and only in short bursts. Oh and it's real hard while smoking to run 5k. Getting discouraged and need some help.

I suggest quit smoking which will help your cholestrol and also eat side dishes and salads no meat unless its for a holiday

[William]

No need to give up meat just because one needs to live healthier. Meat, fish and chicken is a must, at least for me ;-)

I would almost suggest that you keep your view on running and find another way of exercising. There are a lot of hobbies to pick up that gives great exercise without feeling like it such as rock climbing and kayaking. I am also a big fan of long walks, usually more pleasant than running and gives good effects lowering cholesterol levels.

Long walks huh, on the beach maybe. William you sound kinda like a dating ad.

Hi. My name is William and I am a tall, dark, romantic, adventure-some European type who lives in Mexico. My interests are traveling, long walks in the beach, candle lit dinners and snuggling by a fire. Lets be friends first and see where it goes.

LOL William

lOl.
Actually most of that is not to far of. except that I'm blond and ad prefer to walk on the scottish highland rather than a beach. (which is nice to).

Guess Im just every girls dream ;-)
or was it nightmare???

But I'm stick to my advice. Try to find a hobby that doesn't feel like exercise.

[NorthernBoy]

I have lots of good hobbies that involve exercise. I need a "daily" type of exercise and i highly dought that i am going kyacking or climbing daily. That is why I am considering running or biking. ty though.

[William]

Ok Than. I think I would have easier to motivate myself to biking (get to se more, travel further) But thats just me.

[NorthernBoy]

yea I am leaning that way too. Although a run is alot less money right now than buying a bike. Especially with my greedy eyes. hopefully someone here is a runner and can give my some tips to enjoy it more. ty William you sexy tall euro type.

[William]

well NorthernBoy, are you coming on to me?

LOL
