I listened to this, thanks for the link. The affect of exercise on the brain is *really* the reason I started c25k. My mom has dementia and... I really don't want it. Really a lot. For me and for my family. Mom felt the same way but at the time the link between brain health and exercise wasn't really established. It's funny that this motivation really got me going -- the promise of having a beautiful body is a great motivator but it's reaching after something that may be too far. Whereas losing the things most precious to me -- my memories, my family, my reason, my sense of humour -- now THAT is a kick in the pants.

Anyone wavering: it is WORTH it, both now and in the future.
