so to update y'all from my last post...i am officially down 30 lbs now and reached the goal weight i was shooting for.

i greatly reduced my cholesterol numbers which was another big goal...now all in the good zone.

i ran my second race last weekend...a 6.25 mile race, actually called the 50 Furlong in 50 min 26 seconds...an 8:05 min per mile pace which is 42 seconds per mile better than my previous race.

i am hoping to do a 5k this weekend and then a 10 miler first week of April.

my upper body and core strength program will start next week...i don't know what exactly it is going to be yet..but probably a variety of things.

i have been reading the Getting Things Done book and actually starting to greatly improve my organizational skills...i think more sleep and less stress has been helping this too...although i should be sleeping now :)

i have lots of other things a stirrin' and i will keep you all posted as they come about...

well i have to throw some laundry in the dryer and get some sleep...was hoping to get 4 mile run in tomorrow...we shall see

peace all.

as particles flow through the universe, know that i am still around.  i drift in and out and linger and blow away and come back and always looking for a peek of what is new and fresh and old and comforting.

as i move through and about, i have changed and tried to take the best i can from what i encounter.  my paths may be many right now but it still is in the one true direction of searching for and creating happiness.

at present i have changed many habits to truly strengthen my physical being to allow me to better participate in my life.  to allow me to fully take in what is possible.  as i keep strengthening this part of me i also work on my mind and its ever expanding awareness of what i can truly become.

i am truly blessed by the friends i have met here and although i have been distant for some time, know my thoughts are with you even when i am not here.

peace and light ~ mike
