I have started a training schedule given to me by Jennifer Chase (thanks Jen). My goal is to complete this training schedule and be prepared for the half marathon Fly Pig race in May, but furthermore not to immediately lose motivation to keep running immediately after the race is over. This is somewhat what happened to me last year. This year I want to keep on running, because otherwise I’ll see 260 pounds and will feel crumby about my weight. Granted I’m 6’3” but being that heavy even on my frame looks slovenly especially in my field where everyone is so damn skinny.
