This is a blog of my journey of fitness which began on January 28, 2007. I estimate my weight to have been 380 lbs. My weight-loss goal is to reach 190 lbs. My plan is to reach that goal by living a fit lifestyle. This lifestyle includes healthy eating ("diet") and an exercise routine ("working out"). In the end, I hope to be around half the man I was on 1-28-07.
That afternoon run of 2.5 miles in 9:07 is a remarkable effort, especially considering your target weight is 190. Ask an athlete to do the same time carrying a 40 pound weight and they'd struggle. Keep it up! :)
Antgirl-I can't afford to go through running shoes too often. My first pair of running shoes from a running store was $100. I bought those last August. They gave me blisters, but I assumed that the needed to be broken in. Later, I discovered that good running shoes aren't supposed to have a breaking in period and I should have taken them back right away. In September, I went to different store were they fitted me correctly. I need stability shoes with a big toe box. I just bought another pair in preparation for the marathon. So, I bought 3 shoes in the last year, but I have really only gone through one pair. I keep the other pair for running in the rain.
Ben-Thanks for the compliment. Yesterday, I ran 2 miles @ 8:36

Your stats are impressive. You must go through a lot of running shoes. :)
