  • At Last I See the Light

    Today was an epic day. At last I see the light….between my thighs. Lemme explain. At my office, we have a handicapped accessible bathroom that has a mirror designed for someone in a wheelchair, so it tilts down. The mirror reflects my image from my knees up to almost the top of my head. Today,…

  • Day 214 | Running Has Changed Me

    I have been on a plateau for a really long time now.  I was depressed about it for a while and started to feel a bit hopeless.  But then I decided that there must be a way to bust through it.  I just needed to get refocused and not lose sight of my goal. I…

I’m glad we did it for two reasons.  One, it was good to indulge in one last crazy meal…

  • I’m going to run it off

    This is the inaugural post of RunningItOff.com.  I am determined to lose the excess weight I’ve been carrying around before I turn 40.  I turn 40 in 5 months.  5 months.  I need a drastic plan, and that plan is running it off. I will keep a running blog  and will document my progress as…
