Well today I picked up the DVD, Ultramarathon Man / 50 Marathons / 50 States / 50 Days. It is a documentary type of movie about the incredible feat Dean Karnazes achieved last year. If you don't know Dean google him, or youtube him just to see what this guy is about. he is simply AMAZING ! He makes me want to run , far. Maybe tomorrow I will give you a full review of the film. He also has a book called Ultramarathon Man. Again a great book that will leave you feeling you just don't do enough in your life to prove to yourself that your alive.
Todays eating? Did very good. Multigrain Bagel for breakfast, brown rice sushi for lunch , and looks like an egg salad sandwich for dinner.
Activity ? Well I mowed the whole lawn today after work, thats probably a couple miles right there. lol. Gonna hit some wii fit tonight also. Tomorrow is 30 minutes on my old friend the treadmill.
Until then, keep on keeping on !

The Last Pizza!
Well it's a strange way to start a blog, but yes I just finished my last pizza before embarking on my big focused training in my running. Lets recap shall we.... I need to lose about 50 pounds. I am running the Disney Half Marathon in 2010, The Disneyland Half Marathon in 2010, and then god willing the NYC Marathon in Late 2010. That is one tall order. But I am taking this seriously, and I am doing everything I possibly can to be in physical and mental shape for this very challenging year to come.
Now how do I feel with this tall order looming over me ? Scared. Worried. In all honesty I feel pretty confidant about the 2 Half Marathons. Its the NYC Marathon that worries me. I think if I was planning on the NYC marathon in 2011, it might be very feasible. But I really want to have an epic 40th birthday year. I want to accomplish a great many things.
So here is to the start of it all. Tomorrow I will begin a 5 day a week visit to the gym. Mostly cardio on the treadmill for probably the first 6 weeks, and then I will begin to add in some weight training. Tomorrow also begins the hardest part of the whole change. Eating ! Yeah time to embrace veggies, low fat, multi grain, less calories, and more energy. So to all my friends, bare with me. I am usually a tad poopy when I begin this journey, but I got my eye on the prize, and I will have my epic year. Oh yes .... I will.
