When you run in races you get pictures like this.



I can't wait till tuesday to do a pulmonary function test. I thought I could have done a 24, but I couldn't breathe.

Thats a pretty good time, I thought the girl in the left hand corner was running with an insulin pump i thought to myself, "wow that is dedication." Then I realized it was a blue ipod mini.

Well, this was last years', and my first 5K. there's about 25lbs difference and 3 minutes. Like I said, I was sick, I will do better. 26 minutes put me 2/3 the way back. the 75 year old man beat me, and all the age group winners 8 to 80 blind crippled and crazy, the all beat me. one thing is to finish, another is to be competitive.

How the hell do you run 3X6:00 miles? I'm lucky to hit a 6 minute mile in a 200M sprint.

You look good, you're still slimming down since the last time you posted pictures. Keep it up!

[Sportsmedjosh]

Yeah you really are still slimming, is this the path you've choosen for fitness, marathons? That is a great way to stay in shape let me tell you that.

i've been running for years..i just condition to make sure im fast but have endurance..i run track for my college too so that helps with the training i do with them.

Thanks for the comments. I find that having something to train for really motivates me. hitting the gym is one thing, but when i was in Karate, there was always a belt test or tournament. When I rode bicycle there was a century to ride. Now there are a few adventure runs this summer, but they are not as competitive for me. I am going to run Disney Marathon, but that isn't until January. With my wife away for the summer, I think a Marathon in August would hit the spot.

I didnt really choose marathons, but I need a crazy goal. next year probably will be an ultra. If I can find someone to help with swimming maybe a tri.

also, I seem to have hit a plateau in my weight loss. The last thing I want to do is count calories, but I am not budging away from 198
