How I did it
How to find my soulmate
It took me
42 years
It made me
Very Happy!

How I did it: We met on eHarmony in May '08. For 16 months, we spent as much time as possible together with two busy schedules. After that amount of time you just know that that person is the one for you. If you're lucky like me, they think the same of you. Read how I did it…

How to become debt free
It took me
33 months
It made me

How I did it: Set a goal to do it. Made it priority in the budget. Listening to Dave Ramsey listeners call-in on Fridays and celebrate their debt freedom kept me on task. Read how I did it…

How to run a half marathon
It took me
8 months
It made me

How I did it: I followed a 13 week training schedule created on runnersworld.com. In the later weeks, I modified some of the activities using Jack Daniels' "Running Formula" book. It was slow and steady adding of mileage with a mix of long slow runs, tempo runs and intervals. I did this mostly on my own but I have heard some good stories of others training with groups and I may try that for the next one. Read how I did it…

run a marathon
9 Weeks left to the Detroit Freestar Marathon 2 months ago

Training is going well with 9 weeks left to go. I’m not increasing my VDOT like I had hoped but involvement in some Sprint Triathlons has diluted my run training with swimming and biking. The latter is a big time sync. I’m looking forward to increasing the training miles over the several weeks although my feet were hurting a little today.

I’m using the Marathon A Plan from Daniel’s “Running Formula” book and just starting the Transition Quality phase running 32 miles max. per week. Saturday’s long run should be fun. I hope the foot pain doesn’t continue. I also hope I’m feeling OK when finished to get a little bit of biking in that day too.

Weigh 190 lbs (read all 2 entries…)
I didn't make my 2008 year end challenge to complete this goal. 10 months ago

I’ve done pretty well on the exercise side of things, running about 25 miles a week on average and doing a little strength work in between. The food side has not been consistent enough the last few months. I’ve been realy slacking-off on the WW point counting. That’s going to have to me my focus for the beginning of this year.

Challenge Result on 31-Dec-2008: 225.0 lbs., 35 lbs. Short of goal.
