Now the fourth quarter of the year is notoriously busy, but still, it's quite annoying that I have been unable to get back to a regular pace of three trips to the gym a week.Adding maybe a word of warning for people (re-)starting with running: if you are relatively heavy and you are not doing anything else that strengthens your muscles, you can easily get trouble with your knees. I tried three times earlier this year, and while I was able to get past the "what are you doing, your death is imminent!" feeling relatively quickly, even very careful increases in distance didn't help the issues with my right knee that popped up after a few weeks. So ideally, spare yourself some pain and maybe add a bit of strength workout for your legs to complement your running.</blockquote>
