Sat Race Report
Congrats on finishing!!! What a major accomplishment! However, why a 2 mile run in the morning?? You really probably shouldn't do any running for about a week, they even recommend the pros take several days off after a marathon. You don't want to risk injury on a tired body and not be able to do your next race. :)

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Good job Jeff. That is a good report and a nice time. I finished my two goofy's at around 265 and there is no way to get around the fact that it sucks doing those long races so heavy. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you! After stripping off thoes extra pounds, I see a Boston qualifier in the future.

That's great. And, just think, you were thinking about not doing it at all!

Wow Jeff that's amazing you should be so damn proud..............another 100 lbs you will be flying, if you really think that's what you need to weigh?? That's pretty light for a guy! But I don't know your stats of course. I think it's freaking amazing.............a marathon. I'm dreading my half right now because of injury after injury..............so frustrating you and everyone else continue to give me hope. Somehow I will make this happen. :-)
Congrats.............I'll be watching for you to kill guys in your age group.

Hey thanks for the kind words and I absolutely plan on crushing times when I get all this flipping weight off. It's amazing, I've been racing triathlon for a year and a half now and after Saturday's run I really caught a glimps of how competitive I could be after all this weight is stripped off. I walked less than .75 of a mile the entire race, my legs are almost 85% back to normal and I feel terrific.
I have to say switching to the Thrive Diet, my body is just turning and burning the fuel I give it for the first time in a long time. I'm so stoked to see what the future holds and wish I had a FFWD button for the next six months to just get past it.
Yea, 165 is my goal or 10% body fat whichever is better. I am very small framed so even at 270 I am still almost 50% body fat. So the road to the 100 lost is there but it for sure won't take me long. Good luck on your half coming up.
