Chubby's Gonna Try 10 Miles Today ... And A Funny Grandson Video

I've gained 12 pounds since my last marathon 5 weeks ago.  12!  I told myself this year I wasn't gonna destroy my body during the holidays.  I destroyed my body.  Yes, I'm probably over-reacting a little.  But I can tell you with absolutely no exaggeration ... I've tried running here and there during my hiatus ... and I could barely make three miles.  I'm olny 9 weeks from the Little Rock Marathon!!!  I seriously don't know if I can get myself back in shape in 9 weeks.  So today, I'll try running 10 miles.  If I'm still living afterwards, I'll let you know how it went.

In the meantime, here's a short 2 minute film of my grandson losing his mind on a Christmas limo ride around the Kansas City Country Club Plaza.  It's pretty funny ...


Also, here's my Christmas gift from Michael ... A NEW GARMIN FORERUNNER 910XT!!!  I'm so excited to use it today ... well not really because it involves running.  I'll give you a full review in a few days when this turns into a running blog again.



Oh, and I was interviewed by a writer from Runner's World!  Some of it might turn up in a January article if I make the cut.  I'll let you know.  Hope your training is going better than mine!
... be great today!

  1. That was a funny video... LOL


    I think we all gain a little weight over the holidays. I like to call it a winter coat. Just that little extra to keep me warm :)

    I'll be looking for your article in RW. That is awesome!!!!

  2. You fatty-fat! How can you live with yourself!
    But seriously, it's called racing weight. You get down to a certain weight, then after the race you can gain a little back. So really you probably only gained 3 legit pounds, the rest your body owed you.
    Or you're just a fatty. I don't know.

    Hope you survived your 10 mile run to tell the tale.

  5. That grandson of yours certainly doesn't have any problems with low self-esteem. He's awesome - and he knows it.
