When I began running back at the beginning of the year I set two goals for myself:
Run 10 miles in one outing.
Run 500 miles in 2005
Today, I ran 10 miles.
And I only had to stop once for a bathroom break.
Sometime in the next few weeks I will crest 500 miles.
Time ...

One year ago today I began a diet. Little did I know at the time it was the beginning of a new life.
For two years I had been unable to get health insurance in the great state of Michigan.
My triglycerides were the only thing rising faster than my weight and ...

It is a great way to trim the gut.
The main focus of the diet is to concentrate on eating certain power foods along with exercise.

Last Sunday I sat out to conquer a new distance and overcome the aforementioned mental hurdle of five miles. I had finally worked up to that milestone that I had been preparing for.
I failed.
I had to quit less than two miles into my run. I felt horrible.
It seemed that ...

Tracy asked me the other night what it was that possessed me to start running. Her question is one I have received numerous times in the last 9 months. It seems that people want to know my secret for having lost 60+ pounds and how I moved from a sedentary ...

Well, I went back out there and did the two miles. It was a lot better. My heart rate was back down to a decent level but I was still a little dead-legged. Here is hoping for a good 3.5 miler today.

Yesterday was the worst run of my life. I was increasing my Tuesday/Thursday base from 3 miles to 3.5 miles in anticipation of moving from 4 to 5 miles on Sunday for my weekly long run.
For some reason I barely finished. My heart rate was high the whole way through. ...

Back on November 20 I decided to run a mile after dinner.
My thought process was simple: I've lost 60 pounds in the last 6 months. I've bought a bike and done a considerable amount of bike riding.
I feel good so running a mile should be simple, right?
I could not have ...

That is the distance I ran last night. The most I have ever run.
I have logged over 30 miles already this year.
Allow me to extol the virtue of running.
If you have never tried it I encourage you to give it a shot.
It is one of the best things I ...

I'm 75% of the man I used to be.
I start 2005 weighing 60+ pounds less than I began
2004. A somewhat rigid combination of
diet and exercise were the keys to my extreme makeover.
That is quite an accomplishment for the guy in the past
whose idea of a healthy meal were extra onions ...
