yesterday I joined the wellness institute in winnipeg a truly awesome facility they had me do a stress test and a doctor check to see what would be the best plan for me going forward basicly the doctor said I'm in great shape now and can do whatever I feel up to doing so after that I had my first session with a personal trainer first of all they asked what my goals where and set me up with the right trainer for me my goals are to gain some muscle not a body builder type but more than I have now and to run a 10k on june 25th 2015 at the manitoba marathon so onto the treadmill he put me and wow I ran 10k already 6k was my best before this but not to get too excited he said this is awesome but there is a huge difference from running on a treadmill to running on the street but that I should have no problem getting to that point seeing in feb of this year I couldn't walk 20 mins without sitting down next to my wife and kids this is the thing in my life I am most proud of to date I have been morbidly obese since I was 8 years old and always dreamed of being a runner next year I will complete my next dream and that's to go sky diving hope that one goes as well lol

    This is awesome. It really is. Might I suggest punctuation. No offense, but it was hard to read.

    thnx everyone sorry for the punctuation school was a very cruel place for me and as a result I never paid much attention there just led to a vicious cycle and no offence taken

    That is so great! I love reading positive posts like this!! Good for you :) And yes, there is a big difference between treadmill and street. But still, being able to run that far at all is amazing!!
