The Blob! (cue foreshadowing music)

I've gotten rather out of shape. I was 192 pounds when I weighed about 2 weeks ago. My goal, in the near term, is to get into good enough shape to be able to work out comfortably and to lay the groundwork for a year round fitness program. My son is going out for the high school cross-country team in the fall, so I am using the times I drive him to runs, etc. to take the opportunity to run. Because I am a minimalist shoe guy, overdoing the runs early tends to make my upper calves sore, so my distances are very short. I am trying to get out on the bike to get some longer aerobic work, but times are still pretty short. I'm trying folks! Note: I should point out that two posts (and a year and a half) ago, I posted something similar. At that time, I started a weight loss competition and got my weight down to just about 175 before I let myself go again. With a new job and school, etc. I just didn't make fitness a priority - shame on me.
