Gugny Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Awesome...should have seen me five years ago..pack and half of Red Marlboros a day, 45 extra pounds.....5k then might as well of been 100 miles. GL on the training Funny you say that. 15 months ago I was 38 pounds heavier and smoked over a pack of Marb lights/day. I've got 10 more pounds to go to get to my target weight and I haven't had a smoke since May 16th, 2012. The 5k is going to be a huge deal for me. I am super-excited. And congrats on your achievements! Edit: thank you!! Edited September 1, 2013 by Gugny
plenzmd1 Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I haven't had a smoke since May 16th, 2012. Edit: thank you!! May 8th 2008 was my quit day...May must be the quit month! Still want a smoke every once in a while...
boyst Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 So, yeah...I am trying to get in to running another marathon and/or tough mudder, and a triathlon one day. My GF can't run, doesn't know how, and it bothers me. I have begun working with her on form and basic stuff. I take it for granted people know how to run. Some people just don't...I'm an excellent runner.
Gugny Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 May 8th 2008 was my quit day...May must be the quit month! Still want a smoke every once in a while... May 8th is my wedding anniversary date. At least one of us did something that will help us live longer.

boyst Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Even there, Annisiton is not running. She is trotting. Not even jogging. Her legs are are not driving forward, just going beneath her body in a trot.

boyst Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Kick some ass. Mercy is for the weak. Sweep the leg.
plenzmd1 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 6 08. Rin and swim were good, bike sucked. Wind was kicking pretty hard on the bike and it is my worst event. Plus was way hillier than they described. Came home feeling really bad, but power vomitted like Linda Blair... Got my Blue can in hans hand getting ready for the game! Thank you for all the positive comments..appreciated
Gugny Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) So 8 seconds off your goal, blue in hand and ready to watch the Bills beat the schit out of the Jets. Sounds like congrats are in order. Congrats! Edited September 22, 2013 by Gugny
