Still Learning!

Well Claudine, this should make you happy. Bec said the other day while we were walking that she didn't want to post our weight on Monday anymore. She would like to start doing our weigh-in's on Friday mornings. So now we will be on your schedule and closer to Earl. Great job Earl on the run. We are also going to get ready to run a half marathon. We have wanted to for awhile but have never done it and we need something new to motivate us. We have to find one but we are going to start. I didn't know if I could do it before but last Friday I ran with Bec at her pace. She is very steady all the time. I felt really great after about 2.5 miles and thought I maybe could run a half marathon. Saturday morning we got up and met Laura, Earl's wife, at 6:15 for a run. I decided that today was going to be the day I would try to run for a long run, mostly to see how long I could run. I didn't tell Bec and her and Laura turned a different way and left me after two blocks. They ran for about an hour and I ended up going for about 1 hr. and 45 min.! I felt great until about the last 10 min or so and had to walk for about a min. My thighs felt like jello! I ended up going 10.35 miles. I was very happy to see that and now feel pretty confident that I can do a half marathon. I did learn another thing from my run on Saturday. You have to let your wife know where and how long you plan on being gone. They tend to worry if they don't know these things. Sorry Bec!!!! Here is our weigh-in for Friday the 22nd:


Cameron - 237.2 lbs

Bec - 160.2 lbs


The race was fun last weekend but now we have to find another one. It is so much easier to run when you are training for something. Here is a link to the run I did on Saturday.

Happy getting in Shape everyone! Congrats Rhett and Claudine on your race! That is great that your family did that together! I am glad that Rhett is healing up so well!

Later Everyone!
