Missing you.................................

Sorry for the delay, been CRAZY busy with work and family. Work has been several 12hr days, too bad I get paid salary only. TJ my son has been doing his two-a-day football practices for the high school varsity football team. Looks like he is the starting nose guard on defense. My daughter Sam, who a couple weeks from moving out of the house and moving into her dorm room at Youngstown State University, Youngstown Ohio. Been looking at things that she will need for her dorm room. Funny, but I have my idea what she needs and she has her idea...wonder why we differ????????????????????????????????????????????????? My wife Jodi continues to work very hard and stays busy with her work as a NP (Nurse Practicioner). She goes out of town this weekend for a seminar, wish I could could go but, have to attend a mandatory parents breakfast this Saturday for the football team.

I continue my workouts, walking and the C25K. Also have started some weight training also. Will be adding time on the bike here soon.

The lbs continue their journey away from me. I weighed in this past weekend and had 5lbs loss this week!!!!!!!! Just been watching and counting my calories. Never going over 1500, I try to do like a 1000 one day then 1200 then 1300 then drop it back to 1000. Want to keep my body guessing just how much it will get every day so it doesn't become comfortable at reduced calories.

Still planning to do the Race for the Cure next month. Got my first shirt and bib number.












The race handout states that almost 25,000 people will be doing this 5K run........25,000 people sounds more like a walk, but its okay on a couple points. One its 25,000 people helping to raise money for a very worthy cause........to fight breast cancer. Second, its an event to have fun with either walking or running.
They have a new division this year called "Miles for Men". Where men can register and help raise money. The women wear pink and the men get our grays shirts. The blue lettering which is a little difficult to read states "Miles for Men". On the back going across the shoulders is blue lettering that states
"Men Have a Breasted Interest".
Will be looking for a 5K in October before the snow begins to fly.
Once again many thanks to all of you for your continued support.

WOO HOO - Awesome shirt dude! There is a group of girls I work with that always do the Breast CA events - they call them Boob Marches - and the pink tees are coveted rewards.
My gramma died from metastatic breast CA when I was 10, so the boob events are close to my heart - good for you!
Sounds like it will be a big event - that's good I think. Seems like the big events in our area are ones I do well in because there a big field of people at them that have a variety of abilities, and I think the big ones attract folks doing their firsts so it is a bit easier to move up in the pack and pass a few people.
But truly, it is all about the shirt, just ask Mike (a/k/a the Tshirt Whore).
