"Finally my back is healing. starting to run again. Put in a quick 5 miles this morning. Going to try a short 20 miles on the bike. Wish me luck, if my back holds out I'm in full."

When I Started:
Mar, 2005
How I Started:
I was 410lbs. and needed to make a change. I lost 235 lbs. in 18 months. Now I love working out I compete in the local Triathlons and hit the weights 6 days a week. Man it feels great to be fit.
Why I Love It:
The feeling you get when you can run 10 miles without getting out of breath, or lifting your PR and looking forward to the next workout is just such a natural high for me.
How I Stay Motivated:
I keep a fat picture of me in my wallet at all times if I get down or don't feel like training I look at the pic and run my ass off.
Finally my back is healing. starting to run again. Put in a quick 5 miles this morning. Going to try a short 20 miles on the bike. Wish me luck, if my back holds out I'm in full.

Thanks Greg, Still doing the P90X and loving it. going to start another round as soon as this one is done and continue it. Always a challenge. How are you doing?
oh jeesh! that totally SUCKS! i'm so sorry about all the red tape and beaurocracy (sp)! and all you want is to get back in the game! todays' run was my last threshold run and i used my HR monitor and i was shocked at how much my threshold has increased! i felt so good and strong and in the 'high zone' =) i feel guilty telling you about my training cuz i know you want nothing more than to be out with all us tri geeks getting your geek on =) soon, my friend.. soon!
Thanks for the comment. I think it's going to take some persuading to convince me that an ironman would be more fun -- it just sounds hard! Maybe someday -- for now I'm just hoping to do another Olympic distance tri and do better.
no nerve damage??!! that's awesome news! :) i sure hope u can manage to get at least one race under ur belt this season! my training has been good but my chiropractor is on maternity leave and man, do my hips need her! haha.. i just have to make it till next monday :)
my rotator cuff is not 100% healed. i dont think that it will ever be. But im just going to keep going easy on it. well i will pray for your back man. im having probalems with mine so i lay off the squats and do hack squats and baby it. godbless
