First Blog

So I am training for my marathon and up until recently I have been overweight not the running type. Interestingly, I am loving running more than I could ever imagine. The main motivating factor is that I spend most of my day telling my clients the importance of keeping themselves and their loved ones in good shape, and since I hate being a hypocrit, I am putting my money where my mouth is. Money is sure being spent. I would never have thought that I would spend over $100 for running shoes, yet I am already thinking about buying a second pair as a back-up. The funny part about the shoes is that I had someone actually fit me with right shoes and it turns out I have been wearing shoes that were 1/2 size too small and not wide enough.
I promised myself that this blog was not going to only be about running, because I am not just someone who runs. My girlfriend is part saint. She has put up with quite a few dramatic changes in my life and in hers over that last 12 months. She was accepted into a 3 year program out of in Colorado. In the meantime I am racking up frequent flyer miles. This also has introduced me to the world of instant messaging. My family now thinks I have an obsession with the internet, yet I am such a neophyte it is not even funny. So here I am with this bizzarre outlet with my random stream of consciousness confusing whoever stumbles into this site.
Tomorrow is either an 8 or 10 mile day depending how I feel come mile marker # 4. If anyone is reading this and wants to know more about some of the different facets of my life just let me know.
