Some of you who remember me know I started jogging and actually lost some weight.
Well, I can't believe it but I found out that I love to run. Who knew? I have been able to maintain myself at 226 or so since late last spring, and now I am doing 5K runs about 3 times a week, with shorter runs when I am feeling tired.
That's after 34 years of eating myself to 277lbs. Sure I was always active but I never knew how out of shape I was until I was out last spring jogging in a local park I go to after working and I had to endure the humility of this same 50-60 something yr old guy lapping me again, and again.
Finally now that old man is eating my dust... I'll have to thank him one day for the motivation. I am up to running 5K at under a ten minute/mile pace. I am even thinking about the possibility of a half marathon next spring? Crazy eh?
Anyway, between estimates, work, and trying to find time to run I have missed this place.
This morning I finally decided to participate again here and it felt like slipping back into a favorite bar that I used to frequent often but had been away from for a while.
You know a place where everybody knows your name.......
Nice to see ME is still coming up with interesting new topics!

Like a moth to a light....
Welcome back Cos...
I am the one that should be out running, instead of coming up with whacky ideas:-)
Glad to see you doing so well. Keep it up.
