In the spring of 2009 I realized my 10 year anniversary of being a non smoker would occur at half time of the 1st Vikings game in the upcoming season and I thought running ten miles after the 1st half would be a great way to celebrate.  At the time I weighed 225 lbs and was kinda flabby.

Jon, I salute you for ultimately getting your body in a more healthy state but the way you are going about it is definitely not healthy. Starting a running program by going out for a ten mile run while being kinda flabby is just so wrong.
Hopefully you are not addressing your nutritional health with the same kind of thinking.
