I’m down to my last day tomorrow of running of this cycle before the long weekend again.. I am feeling pretty good, and still sticking to the diet as planned, its actually gotten easier to some degree. I do feel myself being more hungry now after my runs … you know the issue when you […]

So the much anticipated weigh-in this morning after noticing an almost 5 pound increase in weight finally happened. It was a struggle just to get the scale to work, seems my daughter was playing with it, and got one of the buttons stuck (its a digital one) …. so after struggling to get the button […]

I’m just looking back at my comments at the end of the midweek stretch about feeling good .. its been a brutal weekend, mainly because of the heat and humidity in the northeast. I made a mistake yesterday in my 19 miler by not really looking (or considering) the course that i had planned to […]

I was amazed that I made through the week while taking up 26 miles already … i’ve certainly earned my day off tomorrow with that effort. I feel pretty good at this point, no major issues to report, although I do think its time to get new shoes already. I’ve burnt out the ones I […]

I once again had to face the fact of stepping on the scale again after my weekend of indulgence on vacation. I didn’t feel that I did too bad because I tried to stay somewhat smart, but still managed to gain a pound from the previous Monday, now up to 199 pounds. I have started […]

So a couple more milestones have passed this summer, I’ve returned from my yearly vacation to Wildwood and yet another step-back week is completed. My vacation really hurt my ongoing weight gain issue, and I faced the fact this morning when I weighed in at 199 (up a pound from last week). Granted I was […]

I’ve had three great runs already this week, even with it being a step-back. I think most of it is due to the change in attitude that I forced on myself the other day. I’ve really only changed one major aspect, and that is my diet, with the second aspect just requiring myself to meet […]

My post last night about how I intend to get myself back on track has inspired me and gotten me off to the right track. I changed around my eating today and intend to add some different foods into my diet once I get back to the store, but have started to make the effort. […]

I enjoyed sleeping in this morning a little bit, actually made it until 5:30 in bed (although awake at 5). My calves were still sore, but they are doing a little bit better later on in the day now. It was nice to not have to run today, and I tried to work a little […]

I managed to survive through 53 miles this week, in week 6 of training for Steamtown. I can’t say my body is in great shape right now, i’m awful sore, and tired, and will enjoy toning it down just a bit this week. Currently I have no lingering injury of any sort, although my calves […]
