Post-Run

Ok, so the marathon ended up getting changed to a half due to some rather gnarly back issues in January, but don't fret I crossed the finish line and am working on setting up more races. The full will not remain elusive forever.

Here's one thing though, this weight has got to go. When I hit my funk in January and had issues with my back all hell broke loose, and it wasn't in the good way. I started eating crap again, mainly because I couldn't move to go to the grocery store, so the progress that I'd made disappeared.

The pictures that they took on the marathon course - holy shit I look like shit. I knew I was big and fat, but those pictures make me look awful. Double chins all the way, looking like the preseparated twins from Basket Case, just awful.

My goal for the next race is to keep on track with the weight loss and just watch where I'm walking so the back doesn't freak out on me. It looks like I'm going to become fast friends with Jillian again - her program worked and the weight came off. Sure, it was boring as hell, but I've got to do something. I can't do another race looking like death has come to my front door. Large I can handle, double extra wide, I cannot.
