Life is Good!

May 23, 2011

Hey friends,
Wow - it has been quite a while since I have been on OH - and it's been too long. Good to see how people are doing. I have been doing very well.

Just participated in the Fargo Marathon this past weekend. Rant he 5K on Friday night 27:00 flat (10 minutes less than a year ago! wow) and then ran the Half Marathon on Sat. Ran it in 2hr 17 minutes! I never in my wildest dreams would have thought I could have ran for over 2 hours!!! Incredible. So thankful for the changes in my life.

I have gained about 10 pounds in the past 5 months - not sure but I know that I have eaten more with the increased exercise - sometimes not the best foods. I sat down today and started to map out a different eating schedule - hungry already though - so it will take some time to get back into the mindset. I am going to cut back on running for about 4 weeks and then start training to run the Dick Beardsley Half Marathon in Detroit Lakes - which will be in Sept.

Got out my food journal and am going to focus on doing it for the next 4 weeks as well - hope to strengthen my body through some weight training and cut some pounds through focusing on intake. Also really need to focus on habits - some old habits creeping back into play - but I am aware, and know that I can overcome them with patience, dedication, and hard work!

Well...off to the gym right now - God Bless all my friends -and stay positive cause negative sucks!!

Blessings,
Chris
