[NSV] Ran 1.5 Miles!

Aside from a couple short periods of time, I've never really been interested in running. And even during those 'runner phases', I never had much endurance to speak of. Last year during one of those phases, I think I maxed out at a little over a mile of running without stopping to walk. And if the temperature was over 70 degrees, forget about it.

Last Sept I went to the doctor for some chronic pain and fatigue issues. All hopes of running at all, or even working out were pretty much dashed to the ground. I felt utterly hopeless. My weight loss (at this point I was down ~35 lbs) stalled for months, as I tried new medications and various treatments. I had read about keto for months on various weight loss forums, but didn't think I could do it. That was until I became pretty desperate to reclaim my life. I am not even 30, this can't be the end of the road for me.

Yesterday marked three weeks of keto for me. The first week and a half was complete hell, but I stuck it out. I haven't been tempted by carby/sugary foods, and it's been pretty easy for me to find delicious keto foods that I enjoy. And I am feeling fucking fabulous! Thanks to keto, I have so much more energy, my joint pain has significantly decreased, and I feel like I have my life back.

Today I went running for the third time since starting keto. I've been doing other workouts as well, but today I ran. And I ran. I ran for a mile and a half without feeling the need to walk. In 80 degree heat. And right now I'm feeling pretty unstoppable!
