First Marathon
Yesterday I ran my first ever marathon! Well....running may be an exaggeration of my run-walk pace the last 8 miles, but I finished it. I'm still fairly new to distance running, so being able to cover that distance feels like a huge accomplishment. Seattle rock N Roll Marathon: 4:29:49. This very weekend last year I ran my…

Running victory after so much success!
Today I ran my first ever Half Marathon. Before this year I had never been a distance runner even when I was in shape and healthy. After two 5k's and two 10k's, one being a hard trail run just two weeks ago, I signed up for the half marathon. The Snohomish River Run is a flat course on both a road and paved pedestrian…

My first 100 days
I've been on MFP for slightly longer than 100 days, but I guess I wasn't ready to commit to this journey on that first day. I am a large frame guy and formerly very athletic. I always stayed in decent shape by being active all the time. Age, injuries, a poor diet and a sedentary job all compounded and I let myself get…

Shopping in my own closet - NSV
Let me start this by expressing how much I hate to go clothes shopping. I would rather go used car shopping any and every day of the week instead of go clothes shopping. Even when I was in shape I hated shopping. It's a necessity to have something to wear, so I deal with it when I have to. But this morning I got "new"…

My clothes don't fit NSV
I'm a big guy, always have been and always will be. Of course there is big and there is big. Almost 8 weeks ago I started using MFP when I weighed in at 281 lbs. Today I weigh in at 257.5 lbs with a goal weight of 240 lbs. This morning I put on a pair of jeans that were comfortably snug fitting 2 months ago. They almost…

4 weeks, 16 lbs lost
This morning I weighed in at 265 lbs! My first goal is to get to 240, then maybe a little lower. I'm every bit of 6'2" with broad shoulders, so I accept being a bit bigger than average. About 5 weeks ago I joined MFP, weighing 278. Didn't do anything for those first several days. 4 weeks ago I weighed myself at 281 and…
