My goals for 2008 updated.

Well,

I got into the NYC Triathlon

I was probably one of the first 100 or so people. I signed up at 12:01 AM. They sent me a dri-fit tee from Accelerade, which is one of my favorite performance drinks.

Now for the Marathon, I have to do some very cold running for the next five weeks. I need four races to guarantee a place in the NYC Marathon.

Today I ran the God Loves, we deliver race in Central park, with a respectable, but not outstanding 8:56 per mile run. I can't shake this cough for the last month, so I'm not going to have any PR's anytime soon. 8000 runners and Joan Rivers playing emcee, making fun of Katie Holmes I believe like this.
"Katie Holmes is in the crowd to run this race"
"She's with a chinese baby and a midget"



In the next three weeks I have to run a 15K, 10K, and a 4 miler. With that, I will have two out of three goals acquired.

The NYC Half will be an open lottery. If I don't get in, I will have to substitute a local half marathon to replace the marquee race.

Keep on Runnin' with Alli(Trademarked)

208 pounds - 3 pounds lost

Some updates.

Okay, so my wife points out that I can be rather cheap in weird ways. I tend to blow off things that seem expensive, but for the most part are locks to be good products.

I was considering NutriSystem. Then when I priced out the food, I got a serious case of sticker shock.

So, what to do? Well, Alli(I don't know the keystroke for trademark) to the rescue.
has become my new dieting tool.

Simply put, so far it works. Read up on some of the treatment effects that can occur if you deviate from the rather bland diet with some fatty foods.

The treatment effects are essentially the "no no no you bad man" cop when you decide to go off your diet.

The diet itself is fairly vanilla, low fat, low calorie, but let me stress, the low fat must be adhered to. If not, the Alli product will make you pay for it.

I will weigh myself next Friday to see how I do.

My goal for 2008 updated

A quick note.

I got into the NYC Triathlon. I signed up for it at 12:01 AM on November 1st. That's one down and two to go.

For the full marathon, I have four races left to run this year for my automatic berth into the event. I just did a pre-2007 marathon race that was a five miler last week. I have one race in two Saturday's that is also a charity event. Plus three in December. Those are going to be cold races.

For the Half Marathon, I have to cross my fingers for luck in the lottery or join a charity for a defined spot. That lottery will occur in May 2008.

I didn't get to weigh myself today (oh darn, too bad) but I will before I post next.
