So I was kindly reminded by my better half that I have been a little on the slack side about posting on my blog. The first thing that came to mind is "I really doubt that anyone really reads it anyway!" But she's right, I should honor my commitment that I made to do this till the Warrior Dash. Anyway, I've been running a ton and trying to keep up with it on dailymile.com and using the Runkeeper app on my iPhone. Both have been very helpful in tracking my progress and making me push a little harder at times. I know that I have not entered every time I went running but what I can say for sure is I have run over 100 miles since February 1, 2011. I can also say for sure that I need to start eating better again. I have slipped in the last few weeks and started to eat out a lot. Time to start really buckling down and dropping some more weight so I'll look great in a bikini. Now that you are all completely disgusted with that thought running through your head I'll give you something else to think about that is much more serious and heartfelt. My oldest son Connor's Preschool teacher was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. She is a wonderful teacher, wife and mother of 4. She walked in the Angels Among Us 5k every year for the past 7 years for her sister in law who lost her battle with brain cancer. She is a very inspiring woman that has forever changed my sons life. I will be running in the 5k Saturday morning in her honor. I encourage anyone who has the time or ability to signup and run with me in Durham this Saturday. If you need further details get in touch with me or my wife and we'll point you in the right direction.
