Day 1...yesterday

Welcome to my first ever blog!!! Special thanks to my friend and co-worker for inviting me to talk about my 1/2 marathon journey. Yesterday actually was another first, I was at the gym by 5:30 in the morning! Don't get me wrong, I am a regular at the gym, however the first seven years of my "professional" career I worked from 3:00 am-11:00, the last four I have worked 2:30 p.m.-10:45, so I never had a chance, or desire, to hit the gym that early! Yet my wife, God love her, is driven. See, me training for a 1/2 marathon has prompted her to not only 1-up me, but rather 10-up me, as she is now in training for a 1/2 ironman!!! (I know, she is crazy). So there I was mindlessly running 40 laps around the track (I am not a treadmill user) to get my 4 miles in. Then I hit the weightroom, then I went and shot hoops, all told, I was at that place for nearly 2-hours...also a first!!! While the wife is doing some crazy spinning class for an hour and then lifting weights as well! Honestly though, without her, I wonder if I would be doing any of these runs at all!

Anyway, I am sure I have bored everybody enough for day 1...I am off to cross-train, but please stop back and read more later. I have plenty to say about my wife, my past, the gym, and of course fantasy baseball! Take care!
