Pictures from the 2006 Tely 10

Okay, I know it's been a long way coming (I ran the Tely two months ago tommorrow), but here at last are the pictures from the Tely.



These first two were taken just after the half-way point.





These four were taken at the finish line.




And these are all of the people that came out to see me cross the finish line: my family, my grandparents, and my buddy Devon.

That's it for the pictures, next time I'll try and have more people with cameras throughout the race route.

As for the weightloss for the week, I went to the gym on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday; but I've been sick since Thursday and won't be going back till probably next week.

I'm more determined than ever now. I want to lose another 30 pounds by Christmas. So that is my new goal, I'm sure I can do it.

Where were you when you heard about the E. coil in bagged spinach?

Believe it or not; I was actually eating spinach.

Only I could do such a thing. The worse part is that I had already eaten a bowl from the bag earlier in the day. Lets just hope that I don't get E Coli.

Anyway, you are all probably wondering just where the hell I have been for the past month and a half? Well quite simply I injured my left foot, and fell off the fitness bandwagon for a little while.

But I'm back at it. I obviously couldn't participate in the Penny Mazda 20 km Road Race (my Doctor wouldn't let me), but there will always be next year!

I'm going to the gym now till spring comes and I can get back to running outdoors.

Also, if anyone happened to watch Summer Breeze this Wednesday past you would have seen me on their season re-cap of sporting events. I'm kind of surprised that they chose me. I mean they had segments from the USA-Canada Rugby finalist game, the Royal St. John's Regatta, and myself!

Also, I now have a scanner so I will be uploading my Tely 10 pictures very soon (R.J. if you are reading this and M.P. hasn't left for work yet remind her to bring in the USB cable. Thanks).

I'm also going to be changing a few of my fat chances because I want to focus more on running next year (as in, I'm hoping to run a bunch of races).

As I mentioned before I fell off the bandwagon after the race, and I have come to accept that in order for me to be successful in my long-term weight loss I need to sometimes fail.

Before I ran the Tely I weighed roughly 211 pounds (down 30 from 241). When I weighted myself this Monday past I was at 215 pounds, so in the month that I used as a "Fat Holiday" I only gained 4 pounds, and I'm okay with that.
