9 miles baby and 15 pounds

Its gettin krunk now. And for those of you that dont speak gangsta like myself, that means "golly, this is becoming quite a proposition. And by that I mean the level of difficulty is increasing"


Fo real'

So yeah, I totally ran 9 miles. Which I cant believe. 9 miles is a lot longer than I thought. Especially as I was lumbering along during the last 2 miles and my legs kept cramping up and my shoes felt like I had taped a bunch of pennies to the bottom of my arch.

Anyway, good news is I didnt die. So now I am up to 10 miles next week.

Ill keep you posted.

7 miles and 13 pounds

So, this'll be short. I ran a 7 miler on saturday. Pretty crazy right? And I have lost 13 pounds since I started this thing. So its going good. More in depth update this coming up Saturday after I run 9 MILES. Thats right, 9 miles.

Guess who's back?

[sing to the tune if Eminems song "without me"]

Guess whos back?..........Back again.... Jakedogs back....tell a friend....guess whos back, guess whos back, guess whos back, guess whos back.... guess whos back, guess whos back, guess whos back....da na na na.....boom boom boom....boom boom boom..... da na na.

Thats right, its on this time. Im as serious as an apple pie and we all know how serious apple pies are. Find me a cold blooded american who doesnt enjoy a nice warm slice of apple pie and a scoop of ice cream and ill call that man a terrorist.That's how serious I am.If you've heard me say "im serious" before than consider yourself one of the lucky ones. I only say that when I mean it. Im not sure what Ive said more? "im serious about losing weight" or "I hate BYU".... either way they are both extremely true. Think about it. Im fat AND byu sucks. Truer words have never been spoken.

I digress. Anyway, quick synopsis. I started this blog last year. Its been working out great. And by working out great I mean I have sucked. In fact someone came up to me a few weeks back and said "why you breathin so hard?" To which I replied "What kind of stupid question is that? Im trying to live" It was a ball of fun.

BUT......

My brother in law, skinny and healthy as he is, has roped me into running the St George Marathon with him. See I have applied for said marathon twice in the past but never got in. Well this time Im in and its on baby. I wanted to wait to update this blog for a few weeks so I could actually post some results and updates. We have been training for 3 weeks and last Saturday I ran 6 miles up by the Bountiful temple. And in these three weeks I have lost 11 pounds! So thats fun huh? I will update this bad boy every Saturday after my long runs with my progress. Check this blog is you like, but if not I wont be crushed. Im doing more for myself so I can have a journal of my training and weight loss. So 3 years from now I can show Lydia that daddy used to be a stunt double for the stay puffed marshmallow man.


Also to show that no matter how fat you are and how many times you fail at something that if you keep trying and never give up that you can accomplish anything. Wish me luck as I try yet again to turn this keg into a six pack.
