It fucking kills but it's ideal for developing a more explosive/quicker muscle. I'm currently quitting my smoking habit so it's a bit hard jogging still but definately making progress. I haven't been smoking hard only like 2-4 stogies a day(haven't smoked in almost a week) but yeah...it creeps the asthma on me.
How's your guys' flexibility? I've been stretching more the last couple weeks and my back pain has been reduced dramatically.
Runnersworld.com has a lot of good workout tips.

I'm 5'11", average as average can be. Hahaha.
Actually, since I've taken Karate, I'm freakishly flexible. I am literally more flexible than my dad's girlfriend who is a Yoga instructor. We went to Science World here in Vancouver on the weekend and there's this flexibility measure - you sit down and put your feet flat on this bar, and there's a long ruler you reach on. My dad clocked in at 28 centimetres, my brother got 32, my dad's girlfriend got 36, and I got 38.
I do a ton of leg-centered stretches 3 times a week and it's definitely helping.
Also, it's excellent there's other people doing the pushup challenge.
I'm on week 4 and I just did 27, 20, 20, 17, and 30. I had to take longer than 60 seconds for the last one this time because I'm actually going all the way down now. Before I would just do the motions.
