Do you carry when you run? This is a serious question - there are a couple of very nasty looking Bull Mastiff's on my walking (and future running) route. One of them almost killed a lady a couple of years ago (not sure if it was one of these two or a third one - same hose though and one of them is clearly very aggressive).

I do not. I've considered it, but ruled it out. I run on a track, indoor and outdoor, and on a treadmill. When I run on the indoor track or the treadmill I will do a 2 mile run and then move to the weights. My gym does not prohibit carry, but it does not seem feasible without being very uncomfortable and possibly painful. My weapon is in the fanny pack in a locker about 20 feet away. When I run outside that's all I do that day and my weapon is in the car. I don't run in my neighborhood. I get to do this 2-3 times a week.

I will start riding my bicycle more as soon as my younger dog is old enough to withstand the run along side. This will be more of a workout for the dog's endurance than mine. I will be carrying while riding the bike.

I cheated yesterday.... they had a ton of pizza brought in for a training class and there were left overs and i caved in and had one.. just one... im glad at that.. i usualy eat 5 or 6 peices..
Just as a word of encouragement... portion control has been the primary factor in my 30 pound weight loss. I started working on it in January, and am amazed at how quickly the weight has come off. Keep up the good work.
Ditto for me on portion control. Once I stopped eating for 2.5 people 30 pounds came off in about 6 months. My wife was tricky on this. She said I had to do it too so it would be easier for her. I didn't even think I was overweight or miserable until I dropped the weight. Now I can exercise and run for more than 2 miles without coughing up a kidney. I'm 44y and working my way back up to 5 miles.
