I think I have 3 posts started about yesterday.  One to post around when we’d cross the start, one for around when we finished and a big thank you post.  Scratch that, I couldn’t think clearly enough to put my thoughts down coherently enough, so I’m taking a stab at it now. First, a quick... Read more »

an open letter to Bally Total Fitness...

When you are training for a marathon and trying to lose 100 pounds you hit a lot of hurdles as well as things to motivate you. I try to remain on the positive side of things as I travel along this journey and ignore the negative people and nay sayers that have told me I... Read more »

back at it...

As Coach Jen commented on my last post, this weekend was a nice break in the action with training.  But it’s time to get back into the swing of things.  The relay showed me I have work to do.  I’m happy with my progress sure, but at the same time I keep wondering if I... Read more »

  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.
