But it's been a LONG time since I've been able to run a 4:47 mile like I did in College. My hot wife made me do a little run with her while we were in Capitola this past weekend and apparently she thought I did OK so she signed us up for the Disneyland 5k on August 30th. I'm going to have to do a little training, since I don't want to be too embarrassed by my time having been a runner in High School.
I stepped on the scale on the 4th of July when we had to take our kids to the Dr. and I was down to 178lbs. I was amazed. I had been up to about 215lbs less than a year prior and although we did start eating better I think we pinpointed the weight busting source... a bigger house with 3 active kids. We're chasing our kids around up and down stairs, around the house and yard and even jumping on the trampoline. Combine all of those extra calories burned with consuming fewer calories and you get a Tyler that is 37 pounds lighter.
Tanya told me while we were running that she didn't really notice how fat I had gotten before, but now that I've thinned up a bit she likes it. One of my co-workers even complimented me today (thanks for making my day April).
So, I guess I'm getting back into running thanks to my wife. I have to admit I'm looking forward to getting back into shape.

from the heart brother. :)
i understand exactly what you are saying. I have been put on a running regiment and i can feel a HUGE difference. Good luck with the race.
Are you guys going to join us for the weekend down at disneyland? I convinced Jeff to join me for the 5k and after running yesterday for the first time in years--he can still run under an 8 min mile...not too bad. It should be fun to all be running the same race!
Tyler, looks like Rob and I will also be doing the race. We ran yesterday, and itis funny how slow a surgery can make a man. Hopefully he can speed up before then. Me on the other hand, I got a lot of work to do. this will be my first.
