Back on the Horse

By my calculation, it has been damn near 5 months since I've posted anything on this blog.  I know no one is reading it (especially since I don't post new stuff anyways), but this is sort of a creative outlet for me.  It also helps keep my honest about my weight loss goals and running endeavors.  Man, alot of stuff has changed since the last time I posted.  A brief recap if you will:

• In May, I completed the Pasadena Half-Marathon in a shade under 2:30 (beat my Redlands time)
• A couple of weeks later, we moved.  It has been a bit bumpy living with parents again (long story), but things are okay.
• My wife had surgery in June to remove a bunion on her foot.  She was laid up for a good portion of the summer.
• A few days after the surgery, my wife and I found out that she was expecting.  It was a surprise to say the least (especially since things were all clear when she had her surgery a couple of days before)
• Wifey also decided to coach cross-country this year.  It's been weird for us to not see her until after 5.  Honestly can't wait until the season is over.

A bit of a confession:  With all of the changes, I pretty much gave up on tracking this summer.  I never established a good routine with it (my fault of course) and kind of lost my groove.  I didn't consistently do any of my weigh ins this summer either (but I did weigh in frequently if that makes sense).  I pretty much stopped running all summer and I'm having a hard time getting back in that groove, too.  Luckily for me, when I weighed in yesterday I was only up a 1lb from my all time low.

I'm fully committed again to tracking and I think I have about 45 more lbs. or so until I hit my goal.  It will probably take a while, but I am prepared.
