How an obese, over weight man started running

by Rick December 30, 2008

I hate running! I can’t breathe when I run! Running hurts! Running is just too boring! Running is just too darn hard! I can’t run fast nor far enough to start running! Do these thoughts sound familiar? They sure do to me. These thoughts and more filled my mind as a fat guy who was [...]

Tomorrow!

by TonyP December 29, 2008

Cross Posted on The Anti-Jared My favorite day used to be Tomorrow! “Tomorrow” is when all of my dreams would come true, so I thought! It is the day I would start my diets, and the day that I would work out. I would clean the house “Tomorrow” and I would save money “Tomorrow”. Whenever [...]

by Rick December 29, 2008

Run like the wind……………or maybe a slight breeze.

by Rick December 26, 2008
