This New Year

In my attempt to run 13.1 miles on May 2, 2010 through the streets of Pittsburgh, I have been attempting to train a little bit and lose some of the spare tire that I have around my waist.

This past Sat., Jan. 3, 2010, for the first time in my life I ran 4 miles in one stretch. It took me 45 minutes and 18 seconds. Coicidentally, just about the exact amount of time of a downloaded pod cast of Wait Wait Dont Tell Me from NPR. It was an interesting thing to listen to while running, because it kept me laughing, so that was nice.

Also I weighed myself this morning. 165.8. I think at my last weigh in I was 168.4. So I have lost 2.6 lbs. Not too shabby. The gut in all its glory is still there, so still working on that one.

The Little man is not doing so well. He woke up at his grandparents on Sat., with a swollen left eye, almost shut and very red on the lids. It has not cleared up since. I took him to the doctor yesterday and the doc doesnt know what it is. He gave anti-biotics. So we'll see.

Shaan did wear his doctors outfit to the office. He has a stethoscope and one of those things that looks in the ear and mouth. He also wore the plastic glasses that came with it. The doctor got a slight kick out of it, but I thought he would like it more. However, this doc is not known for his sense of humor, so I didnt expect much. But he said that he thought it was great that Shaan wanted to dress up like a doctor.
