I do. I love it. About 3 years ago, I was up to 237 and feeling like crap. I decided to quit drinking beer and teach myself to run. I was so embarrased over my huge gut (aka as beer belly) that I would get up at 4:30 in the morning and force myself to run/walk 3 miles so nobody would see me. 3 years later, I am down to 202, I run 3.5 miles at least 5 days a week and I feel great. Most of the time, I run after I get home from work in the evenings. When it is too hot, I do the 4:30 am thing. I think this is the best time as it makes the work day so much better - head is clear and I am wide awake when I get there. In the last year I started getting into trail running. Best part of that is that I can dust a lot of the younger crowd. I will be 50 next year and for an ex drunk, this is my way out.
