In reply to the discussion: A year and a half after "70 lbs. down. Now I can rant about obnoxious fitness fanatics"... [View all]Silent3

Lately, however, I've been heading out to the Gilson Pond entrance, taking the Birchcroft and Red Dot trails to the summit.
What's funny is that I sprained my ankle about half way down, but adrenaline and endorphins must have kept me from feeling how badly I'd hurt myself. I jogged a lot of the more level stretch near the end of the trail going back, managing 39:56 for my time.
It wasn't until I tried to get out of my car later and could barely walk that I fully realized the damage done.

Health issues making it difficult, hard finding time, or just lack of motivation?

It wouldn't hurt to get a physical/hormone workup, too, if you decide to try again.
