2013 was a good year for me. In November of 2012, I decided I was going to start running … and I made a handful of halting little tries. On and off throughout December, mostly walking, I think I wound up with 18 total miles in 6 weeks. But, I had registered for a 5K […]
So, this week happened to include a major holiday. A major holiday typically marked by things like big meals. And candy. So much candy. Weight: 274.8 Weekly Gain / (Loss): 1.0 pounds Total Gain / (Loss): (52.6 pounds) Weekly Mileage: 22.37 And, given the aforementioned major holiday, this was not a surprise. Any gain is […]
I’m not going to call this week good, but it also wasn’t bad. Let’s just go with “not bad”. Weight: 273.8 Weekly Gain / (Loss): (0.4 pounds) Total Gain / (Loss): (53.6 pounds) Weekly Mileage: 20.3 I’m going to start posting mileage now, too. Part of the point of all of this is to generate […]
Six times. In the last just over a year of running, I’ve been required (or at least made the decision) to run on a treadmill just six times. Those include the last two days. Seriously – I don’t know how people do it. If all of my miles had to be run like the 5 […]

Another good week. Numbers: Weight: 274.2 One Week Gain / (Loss): (2.4 pounds) Total Gain / (Loss): (53.2 pounds) It is amazing how getting back at it makes a huge and immediate difference. In the last two weeks I’ve gotten back almost everything I had lost … and if this upcoming week is simply the […]
(I’m a member of the Running Fools board over on The Motley Fool, and when I started running again they were the ones I went to to talk about it. I’ve made it a point to do race reports after my events … and I’m going to be posting those throwback reports here to get […]
I knew I was having a good week, but this is ridiculous – and teaches me a lesson. First, as always, the numbers: Weight: 276.6 One Week Gain / (Loss): (6.4 pounds) Total Gain / (Loss): (50.8 pounds) Holy crap. As I wrote in last week’s weigh-in, I rededicated myself to tracking my Weight Watcher’s […]
