    Update: felt like shit, went to doctor. Not dying

    @boss121 Haha wow maybe you need to find a better doctor. Good on you for trying to be proactive about your health. Don’t let the disinterest of your doctor deter you from getting annual checkups.

    Just had surgery, can’t lift for 6-8 weeks

    I’m stuck on my average run time and I don’t know what to do

    @hightechredneck Unless you’re training for a race, you shouldn’t be too concerned about your pace. It’s really great that you’re out running at all, and 10:25 is a respectable pace. As your cardiovascular fitness improves, your pace might also improve, so just give it some time and don’t try...
