The day it all started......

Five miles on the schedule for today.  Did my regular 5 mile route.  What better way to start the day than a nice brisk five mile run?

------------------------

Today's the day.  The day that changed my life.  Oh, yes, it's my birthday today but that's not what I'm talking about.  It's the day(two years ago) I started changing my life and decided that I needed to live a healthier life.  Not only for my sake but for my kids.  Too often have I seen someone pass away at such an early age when they could have perhaps done something to stop/change it.  Really good people that will miss out on so many things in life.  For me, I decided I was not going to be part of that or at least the part I could control.

I did what everyone says they are going to do.  Eat better and workout.  Except for one thing.  I have stuck with it and have kept the weight off, continue to eat healthy and exercise regularly.

I want to thank each and everyone of you that follow this blog.  It's not only helped me keep track of what I do but putting it down in writing....sharing it with others....keeps me motivated to better myself each day.  I don't want to put something in writing and then not follow through on it.  It's not who I am.  So thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me change my life for the better.

Two years ago!
Yesterday at my Son's Piano Recital!

So how old do you feel?




Have a great day and....Keep Running!!!!!
