Running down the weight

  Ran 7 miles for the first time on Friday. This was my first step toward running the Capital City Half Marathon in Columbus in April.  About four miles into it, I had a thought that "if this was a half marathon, I would still have nine miles to go."  Really wanting to cross that finish line.  Also, Jenna hates the new jeans I bought at Old Navy. They are the smallest jeans I have worn since I was 17.

  I join my friend Andrew Smith for a podcast about weight loss. I explain what prompted me to lose weight, and where I found the most success.  You can listen here.
