The week so far has been good so I am pleased with it. Saturday and Sunday are always the big days. I think it is just because it is the weekend. I do absolutely nothing on the weekends but I think just because it is the weekend I want to stay up later than normal so I sleep in a little longer. It is starting to get hot out here again so I don’t necessarily want to be running in the mid 80’s weather with all this humidity, at least not yet. I would like to test it after while, I figure if I can run in the Miami heat then I can run anywhere. It isn’t anything to play around with though. I can’t just make the jump from mid 60’s to mid 80’s because it just wouldn’t work, trust me.

Well, I’ve made a decision. I have decided to do the Cellcom half marathon in Green Bay, WI on May 16th. It was the first race I completed, I was 380 lbs and I didn’t really stand a chance at finishing it but I did. It came at a time when I wasn’t too far removed from getting tired walking from the parking lot of a store into the store. the feeling I had when I finished was one of the most amazing feelings I have ever had. My journey at that time in 2008 began well, things happened and the train came off the tracks and I had to dust myself off and get back up. Well, this time I won’t even be in the 300’s when I begin the race on May 16th. I look forward to going back to where it all started and continuing on to finish my mission of losing this weight and running all these races. I’m excited and extremely confident I will do well. I am going to make it a road trip and get a couple of runs in on my way up to Green Bay so who knows what town I will be getting a run in before I begin driving in the morning, it should be interesting and I know it will be very calming for me as the road trip I took last September was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. If I had the time and the money I would probably road trip to every race, there is no better form of relaxation than being on the road seeing the country.

I’m excited, be great!!!
