<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

After coming down with gout late last year I had to take some time from running. Over the time I got lazy and fat. Packed on about 15 pounds.

Last month I decided enough was enough and I needed to be a runner again. 

Carrying that extra weight sure made it hard. I got back to 5km pretty quick, but I sure was not quick. I'm fact I was about four minutes slower than my previous years average. 

This weekend the wife and I took a trip to San Francisco. We did our first ever run together, which was a blast. The hills kicked my ass and made me mad. I really did not like the feeling of being so slow. 

We stopped at the Nike store and I got  a new pair of runners. And decided then that its time to work hard. Tonight when I got home I went for a 5k run and pushed harder. That extra push knocked those pesky four minutes off my time.

I'm training for a half in October and am really looking forward to logging some serious miles.
<bot>: got gout and lazy. Took 8 months away from running and got fat and sad. Decided enough was enough and got out and pushed hard.
