Finally some results I can live with.

I can finally see the pounds shedding and some real definition. I have been going to the gym twice a day. Yeah, I know I'm a real nut. I can now run 3 miles comfortably. I ran 3 miles in 34 minutes. Wow, I've come a long way. It used to take me 45 minutes to run 3 miles and huffing and puffing the whole time. So this week I have been at the gym everyday. Yesterday, I took a double step class for 45 minutes, thenI ran 3 miles and then hit the weights. I worked on the chest & pec fly, abdominals with weights. I spent 2 hours in the morning. That evening I took a body sculpting class from 5:00-6:00. I was done. I didn't want to hang around after class. I was sick of being in the gym.

Journey to the Marathon

Journey to the Marathon
In the beginning..

In March I decided to join my Pastor and others to run the Chicago Marathon.

That's how it got started. I said yes, yes to the Marathon and raise money for World Vision. World Vision assists children and their families. I joined Team World Vision to do my part in helping these children and their families who are dying in Africa due to malnourishment, unclean water, illness and other devasting causes. I started training in March of 2008. That's me at the gym trying to get in shape.
