  • Do I need a new challenge?

    by

    I have done the Goofy Race and Half Challenge 3 times now (one of those times I was actually in shape) and judging by some of the stuff we will be doing this year I’m not sure #4 is in the cards for January 2014.  I may have to shoot for 2015 for my next…

    238 when woke up – what the hell!?  Was 235.5 yesterday morning and there really wasn’t any reason for the weight spike today besides maybe licorice over the weekend. Was 236.5 after 4 mile run tonight in 33:30 – about 6 minutes of walking and rest at up to 8.5 mph in 2 minute chunks. …
