I've lost about 50 pounds and took up running back in June 2008 as a means of keeping the weight loss going. I did my first 5K on 9/11/08 and loved it. I have a few more races I plan on running though I have no plans at this time to do anything beyond an 8 mile race.

Awesome Charles! Carolyn had mentioned you might be doing the Rock to Victory Half. It's a good course and if the forecast holds as-is, you'll have a great day for running! Cool shirt too! ;-) I tremendously respect your ambition and dedication... this will be quite an accomplishment! Carolyn and I are looking at possibly moving our long Sunday run (20 miles... URG!) to Saturday so we can come support your finish. Maybe we'll be there to congratulate you in person, but if not; know that we're cheering for you regardless. Run strong.Cheers,-BobO

Nice PR Charles! (And enjoyed reading your BLOB too) BTW, talk to Carolyn or Me if ud like any input on training for hitting time goals and/or setting time goals... there's some solid science behind the approach (e.g. train for a sub32 5k not by running 32 min 5ks in training, but in running short 1/2 to 1 mile intervals at that faster pace) I applaud your efforts and continuous improvements! Way to Go!

Good luck in your MLK Run on Monday. Your goal of 32 minutes would be a great PR!

The Biggest Liar
NBC falsifies the results of a contestant who is voted off the show and later "completes" a marathon.

WDYDT for Monday, November 17, 2008
Completed a 5K run today (36:54.36) at 45F. Coldest 5K run so far and loved it. Very close to my Freedom Run time... I need to get it below 36 minutes.
