cubicle dad needs you!
Earlier today I shared the latest weigh-in wednesday results…and I’m ecstatic at how much I’ve lost and how far I’ve come. Though it got me thinking, I need help hitting my fund raising goal. I want to raise $5,000 for the American Heart Association! So far I’ve raised about $1,600! Which is fantastic! I chose... Read more »

weigh-in wednesday- week 25 results
Results are in…I lost 2.4lbs this week, for a 25 week total loss of 72.5lbs! That’s an average of 2.9lbs lost per week, with 27.5lbs to go towards the goal of losing 100lbs. To hit that by 10.4.10 I need to average a loss of 1.02lbs per week over the next 27 weeks. With the... Read more »

whoa...
Why whoa? Well, I’ll tell you. Just sit back, relax and read along. Coach Jen had me run in zone 2 today for 50 minutes. No big deal right? Right, nothing “whoa” about that. I was itching to get back to running after my rest day and a walk day yesterday. I got up at... Read more »

in run refueling...
As the runs are getting longer Coach Jen, RD Beth and Dave have begun talking about the importance of in-run nutrition. Dave’s goal has been for me to try new things, to find what agrees with my system. So when we hit the long races, the 1/2 marathons and the Chicago Marathon, I’m good to... Read more »

jam packed saturday morning...
I knew this morning’s run would be a tight fit in the schedule. I had to go early and get it in before the girls had their annual check ups. So I was a tad stressed. Our group run fizzled to just Dave Wallach and I, so we headed out at 7am from my house... Read more »

ooh, tingly...
This morning I did something new. Something daring. Something I haven’t really done since I started training with Coach Jen…I ran naked. Again, no…not nekkid naked, no heart rate monitor naked. I didn’t think much about it really, until I got going. I felt like a dog off a leash! No worrying about what zone... Read more »

upcoming schedule and stuff...
A look ahead shows things ramping up a bit the rest of this week and next. Today I hit the gym, nothing major to report really…I went, did my lift, spun and headed home. Tomorrow Coach Jen has me down for a naked run. No, you perv, not naked like that. I’ll admit, I thought... Read more »

socially awkward...
Ok, so I decided to write about this after the Chicago Now Tweet-up last night…I sat and stared at my screen, and decided to come back to it this morning. And again, I stared not sure I should share, or how to even begin. I knew after the get together last night; while I’m doing... Read more »

weigh in wednesday...the birthday edition
Results are in…I lost 3.4lbs this week, for a whopping 70.1lbs lost in 24 weeks!!! This is insane! I’m still trying to wrap my head around it really. I look in the mirror and still think I look the same, but my clothes are loose again. I think I have to go buy new pants... Read more »

fear and confidence...
I mentioned yesterday that I really glad Dave Wallach and my family were at the race, that they helped me get through it. While chatting with Lauren Kaminsky last night, she made a point…while yes, having them there helped, but I ran the race and finished. I’m the one doing to hard work and the... Read more »

Daniel "cubicle dad" Malinski
Working dad of two awesome daughters, with a fabulous Pharmacist wife. I'm a runner who lost over 115 pounds while training and running the Chicago Marathon the last two years and raising funds for the American Heart Association. Some days balancing all of this is easy, other days I feel like I need to drink heavily.
