Well I finally found a way to stop the insanity. Bad habits were taking over. Like the one where I don’t take the time to bring anything for breakfast, so I just stop at McDonald’s or Burger King on my way to work. There were several days when I even double dipped and had fast […]

There is something very satisfying about hitting a goal. I had a race each of the last three Sundays, all different distances. I didn’t put a lot of thought into my times for the first two. The first was the Army ten miler. After quickly doing some math (more or less to tell Anne when […]

Less than a year ago it was a struggle for me to run a single mile without stopping. Yesterday, I ran 13.1 miles. Only stopping briefly to sip guzzle water and gatorade, since I haven’t quite managed how to run and drink at the same time. The Parks Half Marathon was my first, but it surely won’t be my […]

It’s hard to stay motivated, at least for me it is. Some people just have it in their DNA. Perhaps I could break it down to the simplest of things. Every morning when the alarm goes off, I have to hit snooze (more than once). On the other hand, or in this case, the other side of […]

I’m dissapointed in myself. It’s not the first time, and I am certain it won’t be the last. For over 10 months I have been extremely focused on July 10th, 2012. I had a goal to reach and a plan in place. I ran in my second 10K on Memorial Day. It was hot and hilly. […]

I could imagine myself twisting my ankle. I could imagine myself pulling a hamstring. I could even imagine myself falling and hurting my wrist or hand somehow. However, the one “injury” I would have never thought I would have to deal with is… the bloody nipple. Yeah, I am putting it out there. My nips […]

Without a doubt this is the hardest thing I have ever done. It’s simple, but it sure isn’t easy. Being consistent at anything is tough. Well, besides being consistenly lazy… I sure seemed to have that one down. It’s been invigorating over the last week receiving over a dozen positive comments about my weight loss. […]

I woke up last Sunday morning with a familiar feeling. My stomach was in knots and I was nervous for what I was about to endure. I went on my normal morning walk with Riley, and once again starting thinking to myself… Why did I voluntarily sign up for this??? 6.2 miles… WTF? Just like […]

Tuesday morning officially marked the 9 month mark on the journey. I stepped on the scale as I normally do. But this was the first time in a while that I actually breathed out an exuberant YES after seeing the number appear. I had once again stalled out and was hovering around 260 several weeks ago. […]

I know what you’re thinking when you hear the running man. Where is the goofy white guy who is uncoordinated… trying to dance with early 90’s moves? Well fortunately for me, there are no pictures (I’m aware of) of me doing said dance move. Although I have a friend who will likely try and doctor […]
