I have started two new blogs, one to follow my running and a Quest to a Marathon at blog.262quest.com and one to follow my weight loss at blog.2big.org, please check them out.
I am an IT professional / Developer which means I sit in front of a computer most of the day. This means very little exercise and plenty of time to eat.
I decided at the first of the year that I was going to lose weight. I started by changing my eating habits and started walking.
I did so for about a month and then added some weight lifting and started to run a little bit.
I have so far lost 29 lbs in just over 3 months and would like to lose just over another 50 lbs by the end of the year.
I have started running quite a bit more and am training to run the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta on July 4th (10k)
I need all the encouragement I can get because to do this I am getting up every morning during the week at 4:30 to go running. With a wife and kids this is really the only time that I can consistently do what I need to do.
I am driven, but at times get a bit discouraged because I don't have anybody to work out with or run with.
All in All, I know I can do it, I just have to remember that when I don't do so well, it is in the past and what matters is going forward.

Hey all - haven't been around much at all lately I know. Life has been really busy, but I have been keeping to my running and eating right. I haven't been dropping weight, but have been holding steady.
Now, to the subject matter. I have fallen.... I actually fell during my last 5k race, this past Saturday. I won't go into all of it here since I have already typed it all up once.... and just can't bring myself to type it all again.... with one hand.
Read it all here >> blog.262quest.com/2008/06/down-for-count.html

I'm *starting* to enjoy running - at least on my treadmill. And I can't wait for ChaLean Extreme to come out this December! Hoping my hubby will do that with me. :)
Okay...new goal (for now) of 150 lbs. 152 lbs would give me a "normal" BMI for the first time in 15 years, and 150 lbs will mean a total of 100 lbs lost. That's only 14 lbs away! I can DO this!

Get better soon, Tim! And congrats to your daughter - that's awesome for her!

I love to eat. Carbs is my weakness link that I always lose control in front of it.
I started running for fitness in 2007. Ever since I finished the 1st marathon (San Diego RnR 2007), I am addicted to running.
I started traineoing in Nov 2007. I have reached my goal weight in Jun 08 already. But, now, I don't care much about my weight. I care about it only if it affects my running performance.

I am glad to hear you back in traineo, Tim. We all miss you.
Hope you heal soon.

I could offer so many Rocky quotes to you right now, but really I just want to say. I'm glad to be in your company on Traineo and as a good runner (that you are). It is a relief you didn't injure your legs in the accident, and I look forward to sharing the track (on a sort of global scale) again with you soon.

Ouch Tim. Well, if you can't run the Peachtree, definitely walk it, and beat your PR next time!

Yea, that is my plan right now. I will be one of very few with a time-group 1A and a chip that is actually walking. I will be able to see and experience the race in ways I wouldn't be able to otherwise.

Hey Tim,
That's too bad about the fall, especially with the next race coming up.  Hope you recover quickly and can get back out there. But don't push to hard, better to recover completely and take some extra time then get out there to soon and be re-injured.

Holy Jebus, that looks painful. From what you described I figured it was just a crack, not a clean break.

They had to put a pretty long pin in since it was snapped in two. (or three - according to what my wife said the emergency room dr said) No airport travel for me without complications for the next 3-6 months.

My dad had his hips replaced, and now he can never go through the metal detectors. He hates it! At least you get to take the pin out, right?

Take it out - it will cause you more problems than it's worth. Heat and cold affect it and you'll have weird aches and pains because of it.
I have a dog that broke her leg and we put a plate on it so it would heal straight. She had chronic problems (pain, infection) until we took it out. As soon as we did the very next day she was a new dog! Jumping around like a puppy! Which was NOT a good thing because the empty screw holes made her bone into swiss cheese, but it all worked out in the end.
Anyway, I'm not saying that you're a dog  , but I'm convinced from that experience that metal in the body is NO GOOD!
