    Progress Pics, 40 pounds down!

    Wasn't going to post anything, but I decided that I am proud of what I have accomplished to this point. There is a long ways to go yet, but I will stay the course and get to goal and stay there this time.

    I put the updated pictures in my signature.

    The first picture is from October of last year, minutes before starting the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. It wasn't pleasant running at that weight. Finished in 5:11.

    Already signed up for 2 half marathons and 3 full marathons between now and the middle of January. Goal is to run the ones toward the end of this year at goal weight.

    Rich, you look fantastic! There is such a difference in the two pictures. I also have to say you very much resemble the guy I had a huge crush on in high school!

    Anyway, congratulations on everything you've accomplished.

            I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

                  Good job Rich...

                  How long did it take you to get to where you are today? I had a similar starting weight so that is why I am curious. Keep up the good work!

                    Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

                    I started back just before New Years. Once I beat back the carb monster that had taken over, the pounds have come off steadily as my running mileage has picked up.

                            Awww, shucks.

                            Thank you for kind comments. I've got a ways to go to get to goal.
                            I look at the two pictures whenever I get that "impatient to get to goal" feeling.
