Well here is what a person looks like before they start running and getting in shape. This is a pic of me 10 years ago. I wouldn’t normally embarrass myself but it’s to show the before and after. I got into running a few years ago to shed some weight for kite boarding. The kite boarding didn’t last long but the running took over and I’ve been doing it ever since. It has helped me get in shape, stay that way and also relax. I find that after runs I feel so much more at peace.
