Yes, having already lost a small child has made a huge difference in my stamina at the gym.
I didn't start going to the gym this year (even though it was a new years revolution) until this month - April Fools day to be exact - but I've never felt better while at the gym than I do now.
My pace is much faster than it's ever been and I'm able to go longer than I would have previously.
Pretty exciting stuff for a fat guy.
Today I decided that I was going to shoot for an hour even if I had to keep a slower pace than I have been doing lately.
Good news is that I hit the hour.
Better news is that I kept up a pace over 6 mph for at least the first 45 minutes.
Those last 15 minutes were up and down as I was getting tired.
The last 5 minutes were all at about 4.2-4.5 MPH.
The only negative about the photo below is that for whatever reason the computer didn't accept my answer when I put in my weight at the beginning.
Somewhere around the half way mark I noticed it wasn't tracking my calories so I had to re-enter my weight for it to begin. So, lets just assume somewhere around 600 calories burned.
