Bring it on!

It's been awhile since I last updated this. Training is going slowly and I am a little behind what with the flu that kicked my ass and then the three weeks of snowy weekends. But I was able to go out today and run a respectable 10miles. Not bad, not great. After March 11, I will be able to devote more of my time to really training hard for the marathon. I just want to be able to finish the damn thing, not break any records.
Taste of the South End is next week. If you live in the Boston area and want to experience a great event for a great organization, then click here to purchase your tickets.

PS: I will turn 40 in 2 1/2 months. This is how I feel about it:

However, my dear friend, Lorena, tells me that I should embrace it and my impending mid-life crisis. Bring it on.

Kevin,

Being 40 years old is easy, doing 26.2 miles is hard but then you have done it before haven't you, and triathlon's too.

Anyway you're a hero to me in more ways than I can count, a friend when one was truly needed, and just all around great guy.

Good luck! I'll be reading the blog and watching the money roll in for a great cause.

Twenty Years and Counting... Many of you here in Massachusetts might not know I am a cancer survivor. In fact, this September will mark twenty years since my non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis. Below is my story. After reading it, please click on over to my fundraising page here and sponsor me for the Harbor to the Bay. For those who lived through it with me, you have heard it all before so you can stop reading now and just donate. In the spring of 2001, I went to the doctor to see what was wrong with me. I hadn't been feeling quite right for a while and just thought I had a sinus infection. My doctor agreed with me and put me on antibiotics. A week later, I had an allergic reaction to the medication and was told to stop taking it. I felt a bit better and so I just went on with my life. After another month, my tonsils started to swell up and my ears plugged up. I went back to the doctor who then decided I had tonsillitis. I was put on another set of antibiotics which I also caus...

Let's Somersize!

We decided to give Suzanne a try. It's a pretty easy diet really. Her concept is you can eat pretty much what you want as long as you combine or don't combine certain foods. For example, you can eat carbs with vegetables or you can eat protein with vegetables but you can't eat protein and carbs together. It has to do with how your body breaks down the different types of foods. You can eat fruit, but only by itself and on an empty stomach (45 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after). She has a list of what she calls "funky foods" that you are supposed to stay away from (white flour, processed sugars, vegetables high in sugar like carrots). At least until you reach your goal weight and then you can treat yourself I guess. The one thing we are refusing to do is cut out caffeine. She wants you to stick to decaf and I won't do it! She eats like a pig. I'm serious, you should see the amount of food she has on her "sample menu." It's ridiculous. She ...
