7 updates

1.) I will not be attending HU Homecoming this year. I feel the need to make money far outweighs this monumental social event.

2.) The legal problems that I encountered 2 weeks ago have been put on the back burner which opens the gates for something else in the working....

3.) I have decided to grow my hair out a bit. I haven't put a style to it yet, but I'll cut it off when I grow tired of it.

4.) I am starting to see the benefits of my exercise, my thighs are looking RIGHT!

5.) There are 17 weeks left until the marathon and I am getting scared. (1 in Norfolk, 1 in Baltimore and 3 in Detroit dead)

6.) I beat Batman Arkham Asylum and was pleased with the length, now to go back and solve those blasted puzzles left behind by The Riddler.

7.) I m considering really dieting for this marathon, like no chicken again. Well at least no fried chicken, so I gotta be sure stack it to the sky this weekend!!

In Training

One of my frat brothers talked me into doing a marathon with him early next year. I really had to sit back and think on it, but a few points came to mind and made me decide to commit to it: (1) My mom ran a marathon in 2004 when she was 41, (2) I am not getting any younger, (3) Its a great way to lose this weight I've been trying to get off. As it stands I am at 265.8 and I want to be down to 240 by the end of the year.

As of now I am able to run 2 miles, which is a small fraction of the total 26.2 of the actual marathon. I am just happy to be training for it. What an accomplishment to have, marathon runner! I'll be keeping you guys updated on my progress on here and on twitter.
