http://maickelmelamed.com/Quien_es.html - This man, Melamed Maickel, finished the Chicago Marathon yesterday. What makes that so remarkable? He is battling Muscular Dystrophy; it took him about 16-hours, but he finished. I would like to state that any excuse I have or thought I might have, is now invalid. I am on Day-7, or a third of… Continue reading One week down, two to go

The Laundry Still Needs to Get Done
Day-6, the day reality set in on my adventurous quest to a better me. I love the idea of getting in shape, the idea of being more committed, I really wish I could do it outside the confines of real life. I did not think much about the everyday things like doing the dishes, sweeping… Continue reading The Laundry Still Needs to Get Done
I Can’t do That
Day-5 of my quest and my 4th visit to my fitness boot camp. The Vince was not the instructor today but Trenton was definitely as effective! Today our BC was 60-minutes, 47 different moves of 60-seconds each. The warm up moves, relatively easy, everything after that, all I could think was, "I can't do that".… Continue reading I Can’t do That
The hardest part so far
I am on DAY-4 of my 21-day quest to blog, exercise, and eat right every day. The hardest part so far, blogging every day. I am not as verbose, or probably should say I am not as interesting, as I thought I was going to be. That being said, I can still tell you about… Continue reading The hardest part so far
Fear The Vince
Day Two - This is Day Two of the 21-day commitment to workout every day, blog every day, and eat right every day. See how this "It takes 21-days to form a habit" is going to work for me. Today was my second day of this commitment and my third boot camp class. Here is… Continue reading Fear The Vince
21 Days huh?
So I think my inconsistent blogging, my inconsistent exercise, and my inconsistent weight loss would indicate I have some sort of commitment issue, and the saying is that it takes 21 days to form a habit, I am on a 21-day quest. For the next 21-days I will exercise every day, blog every day, and track… Continue reading 21 Days huh?
The Yearning!
Do you yearn to run? It has been a crazy couple of weeks culminating in a 22-hour work day Sunday into Monday and three very long days since. With all of this work I have only run one time this week for about 30-minutes. On my way to work today one of the songs I… Continue reading The Yearning!
All is fair in Love and Running
Most everyone I know that runs will tell you that this is how you feel on some runs. I love Running, I Hate Running; I think the thought comes at different times for different runners, but I think it always comes. During the month of May I have run more days than any other month… Continue reading All is fair in Love and Running

My posts are usually about me, my journey, my running, etc. I do not usually share stuff from the internet because chances are that if I found it you have already read it; but this story bears sharing and repeating. Someone… Continue reading Oh, the Humanity!
What Ferris Bueller and I have in common
We took a day off; although my day was not quite as full as Ferris's it was still a good day. Fridays are my rest day in my training program and since this is my first week of training I decided to do it right and took a vacation day from work. I did not… Continue reading What Ferris Bueller and I have in common
