The Begining

Soooo....all of the sudden I decided to try this whole running thing again and so far its been pretty good. while I was at school in Guelph my roommate Jeff said I should come to yoga help with my flexibility. I think that was the TSN turning point for me because since then i've been on a "healthy lifestyle" trip.

I started by completely changing my diet from red meat/pasta, and all the other junk food a student would eat, to tons of fresh vegetables and lean protein, not to mention going to the gym consistently as well as "extra curricular" activities ;) which brings me to where I am now.

Back at home for the summer, and not wanting to fall in to the same routine I needed to set a goal so October 17th I'm running the Toronto Half marathon I figured that it was a great place to start 20k it's a pretty big run for someone like me weighing almost 200 pounds, I clearly don't have a runners physic. So my plan is to embark on a 12 week training program to get me ready for this even, which gives me a few more weeks then I need, but being summer and all, I'm sure that I might have to indulge on a few beverages every now and then to keep me sane.

So far I've been running 3-5 times a week usually around 5 k a run, also Instead of driving to the gym I've been running there instead its 3.28 km each way. Sometimes I even impress myself haha

so feel free to follow me and cheer me on through out my training and hope to see you at the finish line!
