Tomorrow's the day
Well Tomorrow is April 28th , Colby's due date. So far, we've had no signs of his impending arrival. I am soo excited to welcome him to our family, I can't believe the time is almost here. Mandy will go crazy if he isn't here soon though! She is soo ready to be a mommy. I can't wait to watch her do her thing and I know she will be an amazing mother. :)
This is the first time I've mentioned it here, but Im training to run a marathon. Yes that right, >I< want to run a marathon...26.2 miles....ugh. I have been running since Thanksgiving day 2004 when I ran the Run to Feed The Hungry here in Sacramento with Sue, a friend of my wife's. Sue, her husband Raul and I have been running about 1 race a month right now to try to get ready for what would be a huge accomplishment in all our lives. It's pretty amazing though, I read about these races and they have special classes for runners over 200 lbs. Right now I check in at 264, down from about 290 when I ran the RTFH in Nov 2004. I want to lose another 50 or so pounds (Mandy doesnt want me to get "too skinny" but I would love to see a 1 in the hundreds column of the scale just once!)
Honestly I dont think my body could withstand running 26 miles at the weight I am at so it HAS to come off. I have a Half Marathon in October In Folsom, so that will be a great warm up for me to see how much work I still need to do. Mandy wants to get into it too once the baby is here and she can exercise again, but she's never been one to really NEED to exercise, shes been blessed with an amazing metabolism and that makes it tougher for me. I need to stay pretty strict to my diet and exercise routine to stay in a good place.
ok well thats all for now!
