Need a run...body revolts...

A sunny afternoon on a wintery day off work. This would normally be the optimum combination to get me on the running pathway...but not yesterday. My GI system had chosen to make my life challenging and I tried my best to not be upset about it. Today I vowed to get out there no matter what and I did. It felt yucky. I didn't want to be out there but I did it. I know I will sleep better tonight and the run on Saturday (Winterstart 2013 in Banff, AB) will be better for getting out today. Doesn't change how I feel about it but does prove to myself that I can do it...even when I don't think I can. If I am honest with myself, I do love the smells at this time of year. The leaves damp and crushed on the path is one that I love...not as much as fresh cut grass, but pretty close. Have to focus on the positive and so, today is done. Here's to tomorrow!

Hello and Welcome!

I would like to start off by saying WELCOME!  I have started this blog as a way to share my story of being 360lbs and the journey of finding my way to a healthier lifestyle.
I realize I may be the only one reading these words or many people may read them.  Recently, I met with some people I had never seen in person and was asked how I came to participate in triathlon. When I gave a brief history of my story, I was told I should explore blogging and thus, here I am.

Here's to day one!
