I used to run cross country, and it's really amazing how quickly your body can adjust to your habits.

eg: I stopped running after high school for a couple years and then decided I'd start again. I timed myself in the mile after two years of not running and my time was 7:45. I timed myself again after less than two months of running three or four times a week, and my time was down to 4:30. That's more than three minutes difference, and I wasn't even training my hardest.

Our bodies are very good at adjusting to whatever lifestyle we live.
