I am happy to not just be at a normal weight but I can have fun, active fun and I don't feel like I am limited by my body.

Running is a BLAST. I ran my first 1/2 marathon this past Sunday and I'm signed up for a Marathon next July at the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon (who knew they had one) and I need to find another half for 9 weeks prior to that date as my training schedule calls for a HALF to get ready on week 9.

    The Marathon is at the end of July. There's a half marathon the day before and people can "Rock the Canyon" by doing both. It's our vacation, just the marathon is enough for me.

    C. Love the sock monkey hat!
    D. Is that camera attached to your chest? Did you take pics with it and did they turn out?

    Thanks, my wife got me the sock monkey hat for christmas. The camera is a go-pro. I have it take a picture every second and then I stop motion them all into a quicky video. Some of my favorite ones are below. Sometimes I wear the camera on my head instead of my chest...
