My Motivation?

My initial motivation was simple: to raise money for a local charity for the betterment of my community. It was a selfless act that would help others more than myself. Now I realize that that I need to help my friend. It appears Mel is delusional and needs a reality check and I am more than willing to help his pathetic ass. How will I do this? By dominating the race. You see I will wait for Mel if he ever crosses the finish line and be sarcastically cheering him on. And as he is crossing the line, I will give a hard bitch slap across his face to wipe that sad look of accomplishment off immediately. No need to thank me yet, this is what friends are for.

What's Your Motivation

Against my better judgment, I went running again tonight. 2 miles in 24:13. I pushed myself pretty hard on this one and I'm sure I'll be feeling the pain tomorrow. I've run more in the last 36 hours than I did in the previous 5 years combined. Which leads me to this: If I can do it, anyone can. Even a lazy, fat ass like you. You just need to find the right motivation. What's my motivation, you ask? Well, I don't want to be the guy who can't fit into a booth at Portillo's, breathing heavily and sweating profusely while chomping down on a half-pound cheeseburger with a side of cheese fries. You know the guy I'm talking about. (By the way, I'm not bashing on fat people. I know that some people are genetically programmed to be fat.) Anyway, that's my motivation. Kicking Paul's ass in the race is just an added bonus. So, what's your motivation?

Gotta go. Time for my bath.

Go Illini!

Training Officially Begins

Earlier tonight, I ran 2 miles in 25:48. I'm quite pleased with this. To reward myself, I enjoyed this beautiful piece of cake. It was delicious.

Almond Joy

I haven't run yet today, but I did eat a shitload of almonds (courtesy of AKI). I'm gonna run later on this evening. I'm sure I'll beat Paul's pathetic 3-mile time of 37:15.

Winners run

Anybody that didn't run today is a punk ass bitch. Go get yourself a nice pair of shoes. I'm running in these Asics Gel-Kayano XIIs. I ran my first 3 miles in 37:15.

I signed my fat ass up

I just signed up for the 2007 Chicago Half Marathon. Race starts at 7:30 AM on September 9. That gives me 6 months to train. 13.1 miles sounds like a piece of cake.
