Although it has been a long time between posts I am still out there trying. Though there has been an albatross that has been on my back for quite sometime, namely the 250lb mark.
We ended the year with a candlelight walk at Fort Snelling State Park. This walk was sponsored by the North Star Trail Trekkers, which like Dairyland Walkers is a AVA club, but they are out of Minnesota.
Then in January we did a Dairyland Walkers walk in Middleton and did their walk at the West Towne Mall, along with walks in Frankfort and Geneva Illinois, and snowshoed at Lapham Peak State Park
February bought us walks in Coldwater, MI, and the campus at Norte Dame (South Bend, IN) and a 5k Run/walk in Green Bay sponsored by Seroogy's which according to our timing chip we completed in under 50 minutes (walking). Thanks to Robin for alerting us to this one, to bad your experience was not the same as ours. And finally back to Minnesota for a snowshoe event (we hiked due to not enough snow) at the William O'brien State Park near Scandia MN.
Some thanks to put out there, to Anne and her fit club. You kicked me in the a$$ when I needed it and stated to get me going again. Kevin and Megan for starting there journey and helping me remember mine. Hope to see you April 2 for your first 10K.
And always to my wife, who has now started her journey past 60lbs lost.
Somethings I remember saying I could not do. Run a mile, done and doing it pretty regularly. Run a 5K, done for the first time in 30 years this weekend (maybe awhile before I do that one again). Get under 250, done (finally). Loose 50lbs, ok did that to. I started at 296 and now at 245, I am 1/2 to my goal. It certainly feels good. My goal is to now be at goal by the time of the West Bend Cache Bash in August
